College Football Scores: #19 Texas Longhorns Overcome Second Half Deficit to Beat Nebraska Cornhuskers

Atlanta, Ga. 10/28/2007 10:14:21 AM

Jamaal Charles rushed for 290 yards and three touchdowns and Quan Crosby had 113 yards receiving as the #19 Texas Longhorns overcame a 14-point third quarter deficit to beat the Nebraska Cornhuskers 28-25 on Saturday.

 

It was the Longhorns who got on the board first with a 38-yard field goal from Ryan Bailey in the first quarter but a Cornhuskers field goal and a pair of touchdown passes from Sam Keller to Nate Swift put Nebraska in front 17-3 in the third quarter.

 

Bailey kicked his second field goal of the game to bring the Longhorns to within 11 and then hit a 49-yarder at the close of the third to cut the deficit to 17-9 heading into the final frame.

 

That’s when Charles took over as he busted touchdown runs of 25, 86 and 40 yards to give Texas a 28-17 lead with 3:34 left in the game. Nebraska was able to score with just under two minutes left in the game but the ensuing onside kick was secured by Texas and they controlled the clock over the final 1:07 of the game.

 

The win improved Texas to 7-2 and 3-2 in the Big 12 while Nebraska fell to 4-5 and 1-4 in conference play.
