| | | TEXAS A&M: The Aggies had no trouble transitioning to the SEC with coach Kevin Sumlin guiding them to 11 wins. Heisman Trophy winner QB Johnny Manziel (3,706 pass yds, 26 TD, 9 INT; 1,410 rush yds, 21 TD) led his offense to 559 YPG (3rd in FBS) and 44.5 PPG (4th in nation). He'll frequently target athletic 6-foot-5 WR Mike Evans (1,105 rec. yds, 5 TD). The ground game is loaded with RBs Ben Malena (808 rush yds, 8 TD) and Trey Williams (376 rush yds, 5 TD) rumbling behind a powerful O-Line. The defense (21.8 PPG, 26th in FBS) lost a lot up front, but DE Julian Obioha (6 PD, 4 QBH) has bust-out potential, and LB Steven Jenkins (79 tackles) is productive. Texas A&M surrendered 251 pass YPG (88th in FBS), but CB Deshazor Everett (56 tackles, 7 PD) and S Howard Matthews (58 tackles, 6 PD) have the ability to change that. | | OLE MISS: Hugh Freeze's fast-paced spread offense improved from 281 YPG in 2011 (116th in FBS) to 424 YPG last year (46th in FBS), and turned his 2-10 team into a 7-6 club. QB Bo Wallace (2,994 pass yds, 22 TD 17 INT; 390 rush yds, 8 TD) missed the spring due to shoulder surgery, but should be ready for the fall. His three top pass catchers all return with WRs Donte Moncrief (979 rec. yds, TD), Vince Sanders (504 rec. yds, 4 TD) and Ja-Mes Logan (490 rec. yds). So does star RB Jeff Scott (846 rush yds, 6 TD). The Rebels' tremendous D-Line (103 TFL, T-4th in FBS; 38 sacks, T-11th in FBS) will remain disruptive with the nation's top recruit in DE Robert Nkemdiche. His brother, LB Denzel (82 tackles, 3 sacks, 3 INT, 4 FF), was the star of last year's 4-2-5 set, along with LB Mike Marry (78 tackles) and CB Charles Sawyer (63 tackles, 8 PD). |

*Texas A&M-Mississippi Preview* ===============================
By ALAN FERGUSON STATS Writer
No. 9 Texas A&M (4-1) at Ole Miss (3-2), 8:30 p.m. EDT
Texas A&M managed to thrive despite playing 12 straight weeks in 2012 but has gotten the luxury of a bye week this season.
The ninth-ranked Aggies are hoping that time off will aid their defense and help the program match its longest win streak away from home Saturday night against slumping Mississippi.
Texas A&M was forced to forgo its bye week last season after its opening game was postponed because of Hurricane Issac. The Aggies emerged from that gauntlet with 11 wins - their most since 1998 - and Johnny Manziel became the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy.
"This year is a lot different," coach Kevin Sumlin said. "Five games in, we've got some guys limping around. We've got some guys we need to get healthy for the next stretch of games."
Manziel has the Aggies' offense humming once again, ranking in the top five in the FBS with 49.2 points and 586.4 yards per game. That's helped Texas A&M (4-1, 1-1 SEC) outpace most of its opponents.
The Aggies are giving up 476.4 yards per game, ranking 112th out of 123 FBS teams, and their average of 30.8 points allowed is 87th.
Texas A&M, however, was hindered by suspensions to a handful of starters early in the season.
"I wouldn't say that they're 100 percent comfortable," senior defensive back Toney Hurd Jr. said. "But I think that slowly but surely we're working and getting our chemistry back. I just feel like we need to have a little bit more fun and everything will fall into place for us."
The Aggies' defense will try to start clicking as the program tries to win 10 straight road/neutral site games for the first time since 1939-40.
"It's critical for us to take our game to the next level," Hurd said. "When we come back out we want to put something out for the world to see - this is our defense. We have to put a great statement out playing against Ole Miss. We have two weeks to prepare so we won't have any excuses."
Texas A&M would appear to have a good chance to tie that mark against a Rebels team that's dropped back-to-back games to fall out of the Top 25. After a 25-0 loss at No. 1 Alabama on Sept. 28, Ole Miss couldn't recover from an early 17-point deficit this past week in a 30-22 defeat at Auburn.
The Rebels (3-2, 1-2) were within five points when they recovered a fumble at their own 40-yard line, but Bo Wallace threw an interception on the ensuing possession and went 1 for 7 in two subsequent drives.
"A lot of us got a little complacent after that 3-0 run, but now I feel like everything happens for a reason," linebacker Serderius Bryant said. "We're in the spot where we need to be right now."
Wallace helped pace Ole Miss to a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter in last season's visit from Texas A&M but the Aggies rallied for a 30-27 victory despite committing six turnovers, their most in nine years. Manziel connected on the winning 20-yard touchdown pass with 1:46 remaining, and Hurd sealed the game by intercepting a Wallace pass in Texas A&M territory.
"Anytime you win a game where you have six turnovers, you feel like you got out of there with a gift," offensive coordinator Clarence McKinney said.
Manziel was limited to 191 passing yards, but he ran for 129 in the Aggies' first-ever SEC road win. Ben Malena had a career-best 142 yards on the ground for Texas A&M, and Wallace threw for 305 yards.
The Aggies are seeking to improve to 6-0 all-time against the Rebels before heading into a string of four straight home games. Ole Miss is playing the first of six consecutive contests in Oxford.
