[NU Sports] Pat Forde's Take on NU (31) vs A&M (30)

[Jason Morris]

Texas Bowl 
Dec. 31
Northwestern vs. Texas A&M

Who has momentum? The Wildcats have won four of their past five. The Aggies have lost four of their past five.

Who has motivation? The Aggies are adrift with an interim coach, while the Wildcats are trying to finish strong behind senior quarterback Dan Persa.

Who wins a mascot fight? Texas A&M’s live dog, Reveille, owns the costumed Willie the Wildcat.

Dash fact: Texas A&M is tied for the national lead in sacks and has allowed the fewest sacks.

Dash pick: Northwestern 31, Texas A&M 30. The Wildcats have covered the spread in three consecutive bowls – but haven’t won one outright since 1949. Time to change that.
