Meineke Car Care Bowl of Texas Preview



Texas A&M (-10) vs. Northwestern

Meineke Car Care moved their bowl sponsorship from Charlotte to Houston this year. Texas A&M gets to stay in-state to battle Northwestern for this bowl. The Aggies had national title hopes to begin the year, but struggled to a 6-6 record. This cost Mike Sherman his head coaching job, and had many A&M fans disgruntled as one of the most hyped seasons in school history failed to meet expectations. Northwestern never really met their full potential this season as their All-Big Ten QB, Dan Persa, was banged up most of the year. Persa will play in the bowl game, and his counterpart will be Ryan Tannehill of A&M. Persa has had the accolades in college, but Tannehill has the tools pro scouts are looking for.

Prediction - Texas A&M 35 Northwestern 24
