SN Today question: Which team do you think will prevail in the Big 12 Conference Championship game?
Former Texas A&M coach R.C. Slocum: “Nebraska will have a difficult time beating Texas. First, because of the Longhorns’ outstanding defense led by Kindle, Acho brothers and Muckelroy. This will be the best defense on the field in the Big 12 championship game. On offense, Texas has good balance, with a solid running game and a diverse passing game led by Colt McCoy and Jordan Shipley. Special teams have been good, for the most part this season, with Shipley being a threat to go all the way every time he touches the ball.”
