So now we have Texas A & M coming into Lincoln this Saturday and if recent trends hold true, the Huskers are "just what the doctor ordered" to fix their ills. The Aggies are coming off a loss to Texas Tech by the score of 35 - 7, but at least that game was in Lubbock, which is not the easiest, friendliest place to play. Unlike where the Aggies will be coming into Saturday, I mean after all, we welcomed in Oklahoma State the past Saturday for homecoming and we gave them a "Big wrapped with a Red Bow" 45-14 victory. So we should be able to take a bit of "hot breathe" off of Dennis Frachione's neck this week, right? (L)

The Aggies have been playing a little above what I had expected for them this season, with their losses coming at Miami and then at Texas Tech, but very tough places to play. But Coach "Fran" as he is referred to in College Station appears to have worn out his welcome here. His latest "trouble" had to do with charging alumni a fee to get "insider" information on his current team. This did not sit well with the regents and he received some sort of reprimand for it. Losing this game against Nebraska, even though it is a road game would not do his situation any favors, I'm not sure it would do anything either way.

For the game comparison the Huskers come in ranked 10^th or 11^th in scoring, scoring defense, passing, pass defense and then 12^th in total defense allowing 524 yards per game in 3 Big 12 games. While A & M is 9^th in scoring, but 2^nd in team defense points allowed and 7^th in total defense. If you want a prediction, I will pick A & M to win by a score of 35 to 13. I did find one interesting quote regarding the Huskers current situation. Here is it.

To win big, you need a wealth of resources and revenue, decked-out facilities and a big stadium that is packed beyond capacity seven or eight times a season. You also need strong leadership at the top.

Which of those is Nebraska lacking?

While in mourning of a season in the midst of utter destruction, I still keep the faith, GBR always.
