Remembering 'Roll Left' Against Nebraska

To this day, I can remember exactly where I was when Texas ran 'Roll Left' to upset Nebraska in the first ever Big 12 Championship game. In case you forgot, let me set the situation. It is 4th and inches and Texas is on their own 30 yard line. Texas is leading by 3 and there is only 2:30 left in the game.

What would you do here? Punt, right? Nope. John Mackovic gambled and came up with one of the greatest plays in Texas school history. James Brown fakes the hand off, rolls to his left side (they usually ran it to the right), and finds a wide open Derek Lewis who runs all the way down to the Nebraska 10 yard line. Texas ended up scoring and sealed the victory for the Longhorns.

The funniest part about the video is Brent Musburger saying, "4th and inches. No question what's about to happen." I am quite sure he was not expecting that.
