The Big 12 Championship Game on Saturday will feature two of the all-time classic football programs, and this will be the third time the Huskers and Texas have played for the conference championship.
Since the Big 12 was formed from a merger of the Big 8 and Southwest conferences in 1996, Nebraska and Texas have butted heads twice with the championship on the line.
The first came in 1996, when unranked Texas shocked the third-ranked Huskers in a 37-27 win, led by a 120-yard, three-touchdown night by Longhorn running back Priest Holmes.
The Huskers returned the favor three years later, as quarterback Eric Crouch ran for two scores and Correll Buckhalter lit up the Texas defense for 136 rushing yards to give Nebraska a 22-6 triumph.
Who will win the third matchup between the Huskers and Longhorns? You can see it unfold at the Big 12 Championship Game on Saturday in Dallas, Texas, with tickets from Ticket Express -- where no Husker football game is ever sold out.
