Third Time No Charm

GOOD NEWS for Nebraska fans: Texas doesn't return to Lincoln until 2010. Since the Big 12 started play in 1996, the Longhorns have made three trips to Memorial Stadium and left with a victory each time. Last Saturday fifth-ranked Texas recovered a Nebraska fumble with 2:17 left and won 22--20 on a 22-yard field goal by sophomore walk-on Ryan Bailey (above) with 23 seconds to play. The Cornhuskers' other two losses were equally gut-wrenching.

1998 Texas QB Major Applewhite converts a third-and-21 during a game-winning touchdown drive in the fourth quarter. The Longhorns' 20--16 victory snaps Nebraska's 47-game home winning streak.

2002 In range for a game-tying field goal, Huskers QB Jammal Lord is intercepted at the Texas one with 10 seconds left. The Horns win 27--24, snapping Nebraska's 26-game home winning streak.
