Nebraska plays Texas tomorrow with everything on the line again.
Nebraska, Texas to meet again for Big 12 crown
It seems as if the stakes are high every time these teams play, including tomorrow at the Alamodome in San Antonio for the Big 12 Conference championship.
This time, however, it's personal. While tomorrow's winner is assured of a bid in the Bowl Championship Series, Texas knocked Nebraska out of national-championship contention with a 24-20 victory against the Cornhuskers on Oct. 23 in Austin, Texas.
"They have a lot more on the line than we do, and the fact that we have beaten them before will intensify the emotion." said Texas wide receiver Kwamie Cowl.
The Longhorns have owned the Cornhuskers of late, winning three straight—including an upset victory in
Still, Cavil and his teammates are trying to push the two teams' recent history out of their minds.
the 1996 Big 12 championship. In fact, no current member of the Longhorns ever has lost to Nebraska.
"I know that Nebraska is a well-coached team and that they are going to come ready to play, but the fact that nobody on this team has lost to them is in the back of our minds," Cavil said. "I think we have to beat them every time we play them to get the respect we deserve. Texas and Nebraska is a rivalry in itself."
Tomorrow's game is also a chance for both teams to rebound from disappointing performances in their previous contests. The Cornhuskers blew a
24-point lead in the fourth quarter against Colorado before winning in overtime, and the Longhorns were upset in an emotionally charged game against in-state rival Texas A&M 20-16.
Nebraska coach Frank Solich said his team had been playing against the football demons lately, including an acute case of fumbling. The Cornhuskers fumbled eight times against Colorado, which is something Solich said his team needed to work on this week.
"Our players know how serious it is, and they know that for us to beat Texas, we're going to have to make corrections." Solich said. "You want to look at the
positive when you talk about it, but there is not much talking left to do. We
need to have a stretch where it doesn't happen. I guess you could certainly say we're due."
In fact, fumbles hurt the Cornhuskers' chances in their previous match-up against Texas this season. Nebraska fumbled three times inside the Longhorns' 20-yard line, including one fumble at the goal line.
Solich said that loyal Nebraska fans had sent the team some tools they thought could help its fumble woes.
"We've gotten gloves. We've gotten glue," Solich said. "Somebody sent me a football with a handle on it. But that's just the way it is. If you're not doing something well, you know and everybody knows." Bowl Possibilities
Last week's announcement that Michigan will receive one of two at-large berths into the BCS shot the hopes of the Big 12 to fill both spots.
Now the conference must deal with reality — the Big 12 likely will fill only its guaranteed BCS bid, which is given to the conference champion. On Wednesday, however, Big 12 commissioner

Notes: In a conference that Nebraska traditionally dominates, the Conhuskers are 0-3 against Texas since the Big 12's inception in 1996.
Kevin Weiberg held out hope that Kansas State could secure the remaining bid.
"We are still in a holding pattern related to the absolute release of Kansas State," Weiberg said. "But we have developed a plan in case we only move one team into the BCS picture."
The winner of the Big 12 championship game probably will earn an automatic spot in the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 2 in Tempe, Ariz. The runner-up likely will play in the Cotton Bowl on New Year's Day in Dallas.
Kansas State, if not selected by the BCS, will play in the Holiday Bowl on Dec. 29 in San Diego against Washington.
Texas A&M will battle Penn State in the Alamo Bowl on Dec. 28 in San Antonio; Colorado is set to play in the Insight.com Bowl on New Year's Eve in Tucson, Ariz.; and Oklahoma will fill the Big 12's remaining bowl opening in the Independence Bowl on New Year's Eve in Shreveport, La.
Texas Tech, which was one of seven bowl-eligible teams in the Big 12, received no invitation but was considered by the Insight.com and Independence bowls.
