The 1996 Texas-Nebraska Big 12 Title Game: A Walk Down Memory Lane

My recollections:

  • Ah, Wane McGarity and his 66 yard TD. A very underrated Longhorn player with terrific speed and ability after the catch. McGarity would weather three ACL surgeries in his football career but still managed to have a terrific senior year with 58 catches, 1087 yards and 9 TDs. A great story of perseverance, heart and not giving up the dream
  • Nebraska had an All-American DL and several NFL dudes in their secondary, but started small LBs to get more speed on the field. Texas was able to exploit them running the ball with Priest Holmes.
