The 2009 Dr Pepper Big 12 Championship Game was held on December 5, 2009, at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The divisional winners from the Big 12 Conference squared off in the 14th edition of the game.
On the play immediately prior to Lawrence's field goal, as the game clock ticked down Texas quarterback Colt McCoy rolled far to the right, with Nebraska's Ndamukong Suh in hot pursuit, and threw a pass well downfield and out of bounds.
The ESPN/ABC video feed showed that McCoy's pass hit a stadium railing out of bounds with :01 left, allowing Texas to kick the winning field goal to advance to the BCS title game.
After the game, Nebraska coach Bo Pelini said that the 1 second rule was part of a BCS conspiracy.
