ARLINGTON, Texas -- Roddrick Muckelroy provided a key interception on a deflected pass to give Texas possession at the Nebraska 32.

But the Nebraska defense stiffened and forced a fourth-down quick kick from Colt McCoy after a key third-down sack by blitzing Nebraska safety Matt O'Hanlon.

For all of the talk about Ndamukong Suh's one-man demolition inside, Texas' defense has been pretty salty as well.

Will Muschamp's unit has forced two interceptions and three three-and-outs on Nebraska's last five possessions. The Cornhuskers haven't made a first down in the last 24 minutes -- and counting.

A couple of other notes:

• Suh has 3.5 sacks so far in the game, setting a conference championship game record.
• Tonight's crowd of 76,211 is the third-largest in conference history.
