Ole Miss Week 9 Opponent Preview: Texas A&M Aggies
In this story:
After getting beaten by the LSU Tigers 45-20 in Week 8, the No. 15 Ole Miss Rebels will travel to College Station, Tex., to battle the Texas A&M Aggies in Week 9.
The Aggies are 3-4 through eight games and are 1-3 in conference play, good enough for last place in the SEC West. Texas A&M started the season ranked No. 6 but has not won a game since Week 4. The Rebels had trouble in Death Valley last Saturday, and even though the Aggies are down, Kyle Field is not an easy environment to play in either.
Ole Miss got the best of the Aggies in 2021, beating them 29-19 in Oxford, Miss., but Texas A&M has one of the best home-field advantages in the SEC, boasting a 6-1 home record in 2021. The Aggies were also able to topple No. 1 ranked Alabama at home last fall and nearly brought the Crimson Tide down again in Week 6.
Here is an overview of the Texas A&M team that will welcome Ole Miss to Kyle Field on Saturday.
