Heisman Trophy Winner
This pretty much sums up my feelings on how the game will turn out. I think it will be close the entire game but ATM will score late in the game to claim the victory.

Nebraska (7-3) at Texas A&M (8-2) 3:30 PM EST ABC Saturday November 11th
Why to Watch: Nebraska took control of the Big 12 North race with an impressive 34-20 thumping over Missouri, and now it just needs to beat either Texas A&M or Colorado to play in the title game. Even in the resurgent season, it would be nice if the Huskers could beat someone from the South after losing to Texas and Oklahoma State in back-to-back weeks. A&M had a great first seven games thanks to a relatively easy schedule and several close wins, and then it got outcoached, outrushed, and in the end, outgutted (to create a word) in a tough 17-16 loss to Oklahoma. A&M can firmly establish itself as the league's third best team with a win, and can start to get a little more national credit. With Texas coming up in two weeks to finish off the regular season, the Aggies might need this to avoid a three-game slide.
Why Nebraska Might Win: It's not exactly the days of Mike Rozier, Tom Rathman, Roger Craig or Ahman Green, but the Husker running game is starting to find its stride at just the right time averaging over 200 yards in four of the last five games (throwing out the 38-yard performance against Texas when the passing attack threw for 302 yards). A&M's defensive front has been shoved around a little bit in recent weeks having major problems with Oklahoma State a few weeks ago and even giving up over 100 yards to Baylor's ground game, the nation's worst. Oklahoma and RB Allen Patrick had their way with the Aggies. On the road, Nebraska can take the crowd out of the game by pounding the ball. However ...
Why Texas A&M Might Win: ... all of a sudden, Nebraska's run defense has gotten soft. Most teams have been able to do whatever they want throwing the ball on the Husker secondary, and now there have been problems over the last three weeks with all types of ground games. Texas pounded on the Huskers, Oklahoma State blew by them, and Missouri, when it wasn't screwing up, was cranking out yards in chunks before falling behind. A&M should be able to control the clock on the ground.
Who to Watch: Assuming Oklahoma's Adrian Peterson doesn't get in, this game might decide one of the spots on the All-Big 12 First Team next to Jon Cornish of Kansas. Texas RB Jamaal Charles will be in the mix and Oklahoma's Patrick is making a late charge, but realistically it'll be between Texas A&M's Jorvorskie Lane and Nebraska's Brandon Jackson. Lane is ninth in the league in rushing and second on his own team, but he's scored a whopping 18 touchdowns with at least one in every game this year. Over the last two seasons, A&M is 4-0 when he runs the ball 20 or more times. For Nebraska, Jackson has come on over the second half of the season as a rushing and receiving threw with 293 yards on the ground and three touchdowns in the last two games, and ten catches over the last four.
What Will Happen: Texas A&M will get a bit more out of its running game, helped by QB Stephen McGee, and will come up with a big late drive to win a grind-it-out, hard fought battle.
