Five Aggies to watch

QB Conner Weigman: The talented true freshman gets his first career start. He'll be facing a pretty stiff Ole Miss pass rush.

RB Devon Achane: Ole Miss struggles stopping the run and, with Weigman making his first career start, it looks like a game where he'll be very needed.

WR Moose Muhammad: Ole Miss will concentrate on stopping Evan Stewart. Does that mean Moose will find space in the deep middle of the field?

DT McKinnley Jackson: The Aggies will have to stuff the run to win. Jackson has added a lot to the rush defense since his return against Alabama.

LB Chris Russell: A&M's linebackers will be key against both the run and the pass, and the senior is the leading tackler and sack man amongst the group.

Five Rebels to watch

Jedi Luke Skywalker...Sorry, never mind.

QB Jaxson Dart: Ole Miss wants to run as much as they can, but Dart has to run the offense at a high tempo and hit the deep ball when it's there.

RB Quinshon Jenkins: A slam dunk Freshman All-American, Jenkins has taken over as RB1 from Zach Evans and has 12 touchdowns already this year.

WR Jonathan Mingo: A&M's nemesis last year, the senior is averaging better than 22 yards a catch this year.

LB Khari Coleman: Only has 21 tackles on the year, but has 7.5 tackles for loss.

CB Deantre Prince: Leads the Rebels with 8 passes broken up.
