No. 17 Texas A&M Vs. Texas: Aggies Drop Longhorns, 24-17

In front of a raucous home crowd last weekend, the Aggies put forth a stellar defensive effort and knocked off mighty Nebraska by a 9-6 final. That win was the fifth in a row for A&M, which has obviously bounced back strong from a three-game losing streak. The club is 8-3 and will undoubtedly play in a strong non-BCS bowl, but a victory over Texas this weekend would obviously do wonders for the A&M program.

“The consequences of winning are the expectations get higher,” said Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman after upsetting Nebraska. “We jumped over another hurdle and have taken another step. We still have another step to take.”
