Nebraska held the lead throughout the game, but Texas fought back with a late touchdown drive. With just seconds remaining on the clock, Texas kicker Hunter Lawrence nailed a 46-yard field goal, securing a dramatic 13-12 victory and stealing the Big 12 Championship from Nebraska.
This thrilling contest, decided by a last-second field goal, cemented itself as a memorable chapter in both teams' histories and solidified the 2009 Texas Longhorns as Big 12 champions.
