2006 Texas at Nebraska. 
 

Horns down 20-19, Nebraska with the ball running out the clock with 2 minutes left. We’ve already started using timeouts so another first down will ice the game. 
 

3rd and 3, Nebraska pass complete for 7 yards. If the receiver goes down it’s game over but Aaron Ross dislodges the ball as soon as possession is established. Horns recover, get a couple first downs, and kick the game winning field goal.

I was in the student section when Eddie Phillips hit Cotton Speyer to lead the comeback against UCLA at Memorial stadium in 1970.  One of the best situations of grabbing a win from a dire situation.  

I was there in the student section also.  Texas was defending National Champ and ranked No. 1 to start the year.  We were behind and it was late in the game.  The student section was on its feet and collectively started stomping on the aluminum bleacher seats, demanding a win -- and Speyrer came through with yet another heroic 45 yard pass play.  The crowd went crazy.
