ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -Colt McCoy and No. 3 Texas are headed for the BCS championship game.
Hunter Lawrence nailed a 46-yard field goal as time expired, giving McCoy and the Longhorns a 13-12 victory over No. 21 Nebraska in the Big 12 championship on Saturday night.
McCoy was hit, hurried and hassled by waves of Cornhuskers, dazing the winningest quarterback in college football history into a guy who made a bunch of freshman mistakes – including the nearly costly flub of letting time run out on his chance of reaching the title game.
Officials put 1 second back on the clock and Lawrence converted to keep the Longhorns undefeated. Texas players flung helmets and rushed the field to celebrate this agonizingly close conference championship. The Cornhuskers slunked off, unable to believe they weren’t going away with the upset.
