Texas Football: 5 blue bloods Longhorns had most success against

4. Nebraska Cornhuskers

Two of the five teams on this list are current of former members of the Big 12, which was where the Longhorns started to take control throughout the 2000’s. Texas and the Oklahoma Sooners were the driving forces for what transpired on the national landscape out of the Big 12 throughout the 2000’s.

But in the 1990’s, the Nebraska Cornhuskers were the team that decided how the Big 12 (or the Big 8 at the time) landscape would play out. At times, Nebraska was the team that determined how things would play out throughout the national landscape. Nebraska had one of the most dominant teams in college football history during the 1995 season, in which they would get the National Championship.

In the all-time series between Texas and Nebraska, the former holds the edge with a record of 10-4-0. The first ever meeting between Texas and Nebraska would come in 1933, and it is still the largest margin of victory for either team in the history of the rivalry. Nebraska won that 1933 meeting by a score of 26-0 (you can check out the original game write-up thanks to the Omaha World here)

Of the 14 total meetings between Texas and Nebraska, 11 came between 1996-2010.

Part of what plays into where Texas has Nebraska on this list is how much recent success they found against the Huskers. Nebraska still holds a six-game losing streak against the Longhorns, before they bolted from the Big 12 to join the Big Ten in the early 2010’s. The last win for the Longhorns over the Huskers came in 2010, when Brown was able to take down former Nebraska head coach Bo Pelini in Lincoln by the final score of 20-13.
