The Aggies need to get their running game going. That much is obvious. But there’s also a glaring weakness with the Rebels -- their secondary. It’s atrocious. Kelly Bryant threw for 329 yards against them last weekend; Nick Starkel and Ben Hicks combined to throw for 300. Cal and Southeast Louisiana threw for 357 and 309, respectively. And Tua? 418 yards and 6 TD. So there are issues. They’ve created a fast and aggressive defense, but the Aggies should be able to throw a lot on them. This is a game where the Aggies should use Wydermyer and routes to the middle of the field to keep their safeties, who have been highly aggressive in the box, at bay. If the Aggies can throw early, then they can start pounding away with the running game (Mond and the RPO game need to be put to work) and grind out the clock.

Ole Miss has switched from a 4-3 to a 3-4 and they’ve gotten better against the run. But they’re still horrendous against the pass. They know A&M hasn’t run well, and they’ve stopped the run pretty well (Mizzou ran for 233 yards last weekend on 5.4 YPC, so it can be done), so they know they’ve got to do something to slow down Mond, Davis, Ausbon, Smith and Wydermyer. They’re going to pressure with the linebackers and likely the safeties, and try to get their impressive linemen loose. Benito Jones is having a fantastic season and could be All-SEC, so the Aggies have to find a way to deal with him. But putting pressure on Mond will be the key for them, because if Mond has time to find his receivers, they’re in trouble.
