Texas A&M (5-3, 3-2 SEC) didn’t play a perfect game in last weekend’s win against South Carolina, but it was a much-needed jolt to steer the season back on track. Make no mistake, their Week 10 opponent will be much more daunting.
The Aggies head on the road to Oxford to face No. 11 Ole Miss (7-1, 4-1 SEC) on Saturday in what may be one of A&M’s toughest matchups yet. Lane Kiffin’s Rebels boast one of the conference’s most potent offenses, as they score at a clip of 38.9 PPG.
Meanwhile, their formidable defense allows only 21.4 PPG to their opponents, which ranks 43rd in the country.
That spells for a daunting road matchup for the Aggies, as Jimbo Fisher continues to seek his first true SEC road win since 2021. On top of that, Ole Miss took the last matchup between these two in a 31-28 win last year in College Station, moving Kiffin to 2-0 against Fisher since being hired by Ole Miss in 2020.
Here are five storylines to watch as Texas A&M heads on the road to face Ole Miss in Week 10.
