Summary
Texas and Nebraska will meet in the regular season for the first time in 10 years on Sunday. The two teams have a long-standing rivalry dating back to 1981, with Nebraska winning its first match against Texas in 1982. The rivalry intensified with the formation of the Big 12, as both teams became conference powerhouses. Nebraska won the 1995 national championship against Texas, and the Longhorns later dominated the Big 12 after Nebraska moved to the Big Ten. Texas defeated Nebraska in the 2023 national championship. The two teams will face off again in Las Vegas on Aug. 30.
Our Reading
This one felt recognizable early.
The Longhorns and Huskers have been at each other’s throats since the 80s, same as always.
Nebraska won the first match in 1982, then waited six years to beat Texas again.
Texas took the last 10 games, but Nebraska’s still got that edge in the Big 12.
The past always comes back, especially when you’re trying to forget a loss.
