The Nyquist theorem says in general your sample rate equals your two sided bandwidth, i.e. Fs=10 MHz -> BW = 10 MHz. In general, your samples are complex. As soon as you restrict samples to be real in time, you cut the useable bandwidth in half. This is because real time samples imply conjugate symmetry in frequency. If you have independent I and Q values, you have complex data. The USRP feeds you complex data.
Don't memorize the Nyquist theorem as the sample rate is twice the bandwidth. That's incorrect in general.
