The Nebraska–Texas football rivalry was an American college football rivalry between the Nebraska Cornhuskers and Texas Longhorns. The rivalry dissolved when Nebraska left the Big 12 Conference for the Big Ten Conference. Due to Colorado, Missouri, Nebraska, and Texas A&M leaving the conference, the Big 12 Championship Game dissolved due to a lack of teams in the conference. The last ever Big 12 Championship game was played between Nebraska and Oklahoma in 2010. The rivalry is known for the tension between the two teams rather than amount of games played. In the 1996 Big 12 Championship game, Nebraska had the four point lead over Texas until Wane McGarity scored a touchdown for Texas, followed by a late touchdown by Priest Holmes to allow Texas to win, 37-27.^[1] It is one of the most lopsided rivalries in college football, with Texas winning nine of the past ten games since 1975.

The 2009 Big 12 Championship Game between Texas and Nebraska ended controversially as the officiating crew added a second to the clock, allowing Texas to score the winning field goal over Nebraska.^[2]

Although most Nebraska fans disagree with the call made, hall of fame former Nebraska coach Tom Osborne stated that Texas "won the game fair and square," and that he was at the game in the press box and felt confused when it first had happened.^[3]
