By the time that Nebraska rolls into College Station on November 11 against the Texas A&M Aggies , it's quite possible that the latter will have a solid record -- somewhere around 7-3. But, will this be an A&M team that is brimming with confidence against the 'Huskers or one that staggers onto the field after having been taken apart by Oklahoma on their home turf one week prior?

Of course, the Nebraska Cornhuskers are hoping that the Sooners tenderize the Aggies so that they can walk into town with a swagger and walk out with a big victory.

Stephen McGee, a sophomore, will likely take over for Reggie McNeil, a heralded quarterback who was drafted in the sixth round by the Cincinnati Bengals . McGee passed for 283 yards (two touchdowns, one interception) and ran for 235 and two touchdowns in limited action for the Aggies last fall. McGee should have some time to breathe, as he has a big and experienced offensive line in front of him.

Junior Cody Wallace is a veteran center and leader on that line. Senior tailback Courtney Lewis, who led the Aggies in rushing the past three years is back, as is senior wide receiver Chad Schroeder, who caught 20 passes, five of which went for touchdowns, before breaking his leg last season.

Much like their offensive line, Texas A&M features a strong defensive front. Red Bryant, a junior in his third year as a starter, should help that defensive line greatly from his defensive tackle position. Bryant recorded three sacks in 2005.

Justin Warren, a senior, was fierce at linebacker last fall for the Aggies, recording an eye-opening 95 tackles. Melvin Bullitt should be a force in the defensive backfield for A&M. The senior posted 59 tackles and had a pair of interceptions last season.

After finishing with a 5-6 overall record last year, the Aggies could finish a few games above the .500 mark this fall. The game between the 'Huskers and A&M could very well be decided by a very close margin (three to five points). Again, if the Big Red is going to be what some of the faithful think they will be, a victory in College Station should happen.

 
Hopefully A&M will have a good record, and it will make for a good game. The atmospher will be crazy, but it being so late in the season our players will know how to handle the pressure. I see the Huskers winning by 2-3 tds.

 
Im thinking right now that A&M could be a trap game for the Huskers. It will be latter on in the season and depending on how we did against USC and Texas, this might be a game that could sneak up on us and we might lose.

 
One thing that is good though is that there is no game the next week, because the CU game is 2 weeks later, so hopefully they won't be looking ahead.The atmosphere alone should fire them up.

 
i dont see NU beating aTm by 2-3 touchdowns at their place. 7-10 points max, and could be a 3 point game. the 12th man is a forminable foe

 
It is, but this Husker team has a lot of talent, and will be all together by this game, especially the D. Coz will have the rotation at all the positions down, and they will have a big game.

 
You guys KNOW I have to throw down on this thread :) The BIGGEST difference in our team is we FINALLY have a leader the WHOLE TEAM looks to. No more washout Reggie McNeal. McGee is a talented QB, but more than that, he is a LEADER.

We face the same situation as far as breaks go. Our game with tu is on national television, like yours against CU. And we have the breather. Nebraska is a huge, circled date on our calendars. IT will serve as the official "Maroon Out" game for the year. The 12th Man will be there in force. I honestly think this game could go either way. I don't expect a spread more than 7 points. I think this will be an epic one. I can't WAIT!

 
It really is. My girlfriend's (she is the reason I'm a Husker fan, as she, her dad, and her mom went there, her sister goes there, and her brother will go there) family is having me buy them tix to the A&M game, and I think it will be a great experience for all.

And as far as the team, I really think A&M is the Big XII Wild Card this year. I think we could either be really good or really bad. I don't think anyone really knows how good we'll be.

 
i hope if i have a daughter...her b/f or what not buys me tickets to a husker game, that'd win me over, but if i saw him groping her, i'd have to kick his a$$...until their married :lol:
