"I'm excited about it," Bielema said. "I'm excited to play Northern Illinois, but I'm not going to ignore the fact we have made a big deal going into Dallas Cowboys Stadium every year, playing Texas A&M. We recruit the Tex Hogs extremely hard. We knew this year we were guaranteed two games in Texas. One against Texas Tech (Arkansas' 49-28 victory last Saturday in Lubbock) and one's against A&M. I think the kids will be excited. I think it's awesome."
