We played even up with them for about 2.5 quarters. Then slowly but surely, we got worn out. Nebraska could and would send quality reserve OL in the game constantly.

Same on the defensive side of the ball.

And of course Nebraska was expected to play for the national title that year, but got upset in the conference championship game. Conference championships were new then. That was either the 1st or 2nd title game for the Big 12.
