John Mackovic was a great play caller. We forget that he won 2 conference championships at texas… this game and the year before when they won the final SWC title.
His offenses were schizophrenic, and his defenses sucked. But at least he brought us Ricky and kicked off our ownership of Nebraska in dramatic fashion.
@@robjohnson8861 No, they had a good plan and executed it perfectly. Osborne overlooked it, so did the team. They gave them credit. Get over your sorry self
@sorney98 Mackovic got a call and the caller said, "what the hell or you doing?" If Neb loses here they have NO CHANCE at a NC game which is more money for the league. So Mackovic sends in a pass on 4th down from his own 29 for a QB that had already thrown 2 interceptions. But Ozzy being Ozzy just F'ed up...again.
Nebraska could've won 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997 National Championships. They did win 1994, 1995, 1997. Lost the National Championship in 1993 to Florida State. Then this loss to Texas in the Big 12 Championship Game cost them a chance against Florida State in 1996 for the National Championship.
@Jim Beam I think it was teams catching up and not using the brute offensive scheme of line em up and run em over and over and over and over and over. Talent at skill positions flourished and could beat the power run game with only 14 throws/game.
@Jim Beam Oklahoma, LSU, Miami, Ohio State, USC dominated the early 2000s and none of them used the power run game as their offense. It was a pass happy scheme with talent at WR, TE, RB, QB, rather than a Nebraska team for 50 seasons ran a power option scheme and just demolished teams for 350 yards/game rushing. Teams started to pass for 300 yards/game and run for 150 yards/game. The inverse was true for 1900-2000. Was a power run game then became a passing game with pass fist and then run. Nebraska didn't make this change until after that 2002 lost to Miami in the National Championship. They were behind Miami, USC, Oklahoma, LSU etc by then.
@Jim Beam Texas should have a couple more National Championships if they could've won their Bowl Game. I think '77 they were 11-0 and played Notre Dame for the Cotton Bowl and lost. I think '83 also. Texas has a rich history with 918 wins.
@@christophershannon8734 Alabama too. For example, Alabama went 11-0-0 in 1966 yet finished behind 9-0-1 Notre Dame and 9-0-1 Michigan State even though Bama had won at least a share of a national championship in both 1964 and 1965 and started 1966 ranked #1.
Texas invented a form of the option, and single handedly put an end to its reign in this game by stifling it. Edit: Wane McGarity gives me the chills with that catch in the 4th.
The Texas Wishbone 1960's isnt the Osbourne offense, at all. Watch Nebraska and a wishbone game to see, cause u certainly havent. And if you did, you don't know what your looking at.
Oklahoma did it better. Texas didn't invent option, its in the first decades of the 1900's. And the wishbone was dead and buried in the 80's. Texas didn't 'singlehandedly' do shit in 96 except win the conference Nebraska won in 94-95 and the very next year; Nebraska 13-0 National champs. So much for 'putting an end' to Nebraskas scheme.
@@WalterWhiteFootballSharing awww is someone being a lil baby back bish because Texas went 9-1 versus his Cornhuskers in the big 12? 😭 😭 The wishbone is a form of the option, and there’s this thing called hyperbole so don’t be so triggered about the “single handed” comment. It’s sports. Or you can continue your screaming tirade at a stranger on RUclips about a game from 25 years ago 😂 Jesus Harold Christ hahao
@Jim Beam I was being hyperbolic as a UT fan. To be fair, I wouldn’t expect any team to make conference realignment decisions based on their record versus a single team. To your latter point, I think Texas was positioned to be in the conversation with the teams you mentioned until the 2010 championship game vs Alabama. The whole decade from 2000 to 2010 they were a top five program. When they imploded and lost Colt in that championship game it positioned Bama to dominate for the next decade and positioned Texas to suck. If you remember, Texas was winning that game until Gilbert had to come off the bench. Last thing.... seems like you are blaming refs and individual players for Nebraska’s losses.... Texas fan base asks for the world, which is fair considering the hot bed of recruiting talent within the state, but compared to pretty much every other program in country with the exception of Bama and Ohio State, I’m pretty happy with our history. You seem like a Nebraska fan... I would give you the same advice. Be happy with your history, very few schools are on the level of a UT or a NU.
@@sickcommode-odragon4193 lesser conference? Haha, so far the Big 10 has 2 appearances in the CFP National Championship game with a win? How’s the Big 12 doing? Oh wait, they only make it only to get the crap beaten out if then. Plus so far the Big 10 is #2 behind the SEC in money.
Right yet, several guys dealing with the flu, best linebacker is gone, yet players and coaches give Texas credit. Wasn't a flop, Texas came to play, it's that simple. Only flop is your 2 RUclips channels thinking you know sports yet don't have a clue
Amazing to think that Nebraska could have won 4 national championships in a row if Texas didn’t upset them here
Possible but then they have to win another game and had already lost to ASU.

every time Priest touched the ball was pure explosiveness....he entered the game RB3
That 4th down call took the biggest of balls. Perfect execution, and it goes down in U of Texas history as one of the best wins ever.
That fourth down call was brutal . Great call …
I have never understood why Nebraska doesn't go back to this brand of football. It seems to work for Michigan now days.
Texas had some good RB's that year. Priest Holmes and Ricky Williams in the same backfield.
They really did. I wish Nebraska had Ahman Green for this game. Can you imagine a collegiate football game with these three guys...
