1. A&M will not be breaking in a new QB. Repeat Jerrod Johnson will not be the QB, he has "accuracy issues"
2. The running game should be VERY stout: Lane, Goodson, Stephens, Tarrant, and Grey will make for a very, very nice backfield.
3. A&M has the components to be a decent team: Good DL, Good Secondary, GREAT RB's, Decent QB, and components on a OL that barring injury can be decent. Real weakness at WR and LB.
4. A&M has the schedule that works in its favor.
5. The Longhorn team we face this year is arguably the weakest Longhorn team we have faced in 10 years. Im not talking about how good the team will be in '09 Im talking about today.
6. The 2003 A&M team, who was less talented than this years team(barely) gave the Horn's a run for thier money in the 2003 game. That game was not decided until well into the 3rd quarter when Van Zandt fumbled the punt return(story of our life that year, fumbling punt returns...)
