[Husker] Worried about Texas A&M

I'm getting more and more worried about the Texas A&M game.

Since before the Texas game, I've felt that Nebraska was not as good as 
their ranking or rushing stats suggest.  Why?  Nebraska can't run 
against good rushing defenses (Texas is the only one Nebraska has 
played) and has a poor rush defense (#75).

Texas A&M's rush defense is #8 in the nation.  I'll be surprised if 
Nebraska has any success running unless they are able to open A&M's 
defense with the pass.

Texas A&M is better than people realize.  Their 3 losses were to 
@Oklahoma St 38-35, Arkansas 24-17, Missouri 30-9, and they have a win 
over OU in the bank (ahead by 16 with 4 minutes to go).

Yes, Nebraska should have beat Texas, in which case they'd be 9-0, but 
they were VERY lucky to beat Iowa St. and against Missouri were 
outplayed after the 1st quarter (and Missouri are losing to Texas Tech).

Go Big Red!
Andy
