Huge defensive game. Both teams held under 200 yds total offense.

Summary for you lazy non-spectators:

Texas 10 NEB 9
Gettin late in 4th quarter, Texas punts it from the Goal.
Nebraska catches it at the 50, runs it back to the 15, at one point completely dragging a tackler off his leg.
Nebraska offense does nothing, kicks a field goal.

Texas 10 NEB 12
2 minutes left 4th quarter
Nebraska special teams tries to kick it to the left side, ball goes out of bounds. Texas given ball at their own 40.
McCoy (QB) throws the ball for a 19 yard reception, but a horse collar call makes it 34 yard reception -- they're in field goal range.
Clock is ran down a LOT, McCoy doesn't realize that there's so little time as he steps up to the line, hikes it with 7 second left, throws a very high arching throw out of bounds at 3 seconds left. Time is called at 0. Game ends, Texas 10 NEB 12, #22NEB upsets #3 would-be Nat'l contender Texas.

Or is it?
They review the play, the ball hit out of bounds a split second before the last second ran out.

Texas tries for a field goal, kicker is iced, kicker kicks it and it goes in within two feet of the pole.

Texas wins,
Texas 13 NEB 12.

Texas goes to the Nat'l Championship.

That was a good game. I thought it was over (As in Nebraska winning). Lol...on the play when Colt McCoy threw it out of bounds. There was actually 1 second left. Yep.

Lol we were watching it just going "What? No way. No way. What? Oh my god." for the past 5 minutes.

no problem.

I'm glad someone with a slightly higher chance to win the BCS is facing Alabama. They're still gonna get their asses kicked, but it'll be closer than if TCU or Cincy (lol) went.

Nebraska's defense stood tall the entire game, except when in mattered most.

well yeah, but that's really a select few plays, and Texas is a great team.

Yes Texas is a great game. But I got to give some credit to the Nebraska defense. They played well. Both defenses were good.

Yea it was boring. I liked watching Cinci and Pitt better. Lol, I can't believe the kicker of Pitt missed the extra point! But I do like Cinci a bit better. Fresno St and Illinois was fun to watch too.

Boring?
I like a good defensive game. It's more interesting to see teams in a deadlock than in a back-and-forth gun show.

True, well...only sometimes I like to watch some hard-nose defense game. Only sometimes.
