Lincoln -- Nebraska (6-3, 2-2) returns home to Memorial Stadium to take on No. 7 Texas this Saturday in a matchup of two of the most storied programs in college football history. The Huskers hope to build on the momentum gained in last week’s 38-31 comeback victory at Texas A&M. That win ended Nebraska’s road losing streak at five games and allowed the Huskers to even their conference record at 2-2 and improve to 6-3 overall on the season. Kickoff for the Nebraska-Texas tilt is set for 6 p.m. and the game will be televised nationally on Fox Sports Net.

After ending a road losing streak last week, the Huskers now turn their attention to continuing a nation-leading streak. Nebraska has won its past 26 games at Memorial Stadium since Texas posted a 20-16 upset in Lincoln in 1998. In fact, the Longhorn’s victory at Nebraska four seasons ago is NU’s lone loss at Memorial Stadium in its past 74 home games.

The Longhorns enter Saturday evening’s game with a 7-1 overall record and a 3-1 mark in the Big 12 Conference. Texas is ranked No. 7 in both national polls this week after a 21-10 victory over Iowa State last Saturday in Austin. The win was UT’s second straight over a ranked opponent after a 35-24 setback against No. 2 Oklahoma three weeks ago in Dallas.

Saturday’s matchup will break a tie in the all-time series between the two schools. Nebraska and Texas have split the first eight meetings in the series, with the ‘Horns winning three of four matchups since the formation of the Big 12 Conference. Texas holds a 2-1 edge in the three games played at Memorial Stadium.
