Two of the top teams in the Big 12 Conference meet in College Station on Saturday night, as the ninth-ranked Nebraska Cornhuskers come calling on the 18th-ranked Texas A&M Aggies.
Nebraska Vs. Texas A&M: Aggies Finally On Board After Field Goal
Finally, Texas A&M’s offense has seen fit to arrive at Texas A&M’s game tonight.

A nine-play, 62-yard drive keyed by Cyrus Gray’s hard running got Texas A&M deep into Nebraska territory, and the 29-yard field goal by Ryan Bullock tied the game at 3-3.
