Maximize their scoring opportunities and control the clock while keeping Max Johnson in one piece. Ole Miss is an average defense and has given up big games on the ground and in the air, including to teams who couldn't move the ball on A&M -- but they are aggressive, will blitz heavily and force turnovers.

The Aggies don't have to be plodding offensively, but they've got to be able to grind it out. This is absolutely a Le'Veon Moss game, where A&M will need his physical running style and ability to hit holes quickly. The Aggies should be consider this game to be personal, after all the insults they've received from Ole Miss players and coaches, so the offensive line should play with a fury.

Johnson knows he's not going to have a ton of time to throw, which means he's going to have to get the ball out fast. Rollouts, drag routes and slants are going to be needed along with the intermediate and long routes A&M usually run. He talked this week about how fun it is to watch Ainias Smith and Evan Stewart work, and he's got to get them the ball quickly. Let them do the work, and get the ball out before the blitz gets to him.

Ole Miss has had some issues when teams get physical with them. Alabama beat them and Auburn gave them all they could handle. A&M needs to get a solid push, protect Johnson and let him work. If he has time, he'll find opportunities against the Ole Miss secondary.

And they need touchdowns, not field goals, after halftime.

Bring the heat. This is pretty simple. If you watch the games where opponents have not been able to pressure A&M's quarterbacks, they've racked up yards and points. But when Miami, Alabama and Tennessee turned up the heat, the Aggies struggled. Ole Miss has been one of the best teams in the nation when it comes to tackles for loss and sacks, even if they've given up a good number of yards otherwise.

Ivey is the one lineman that the Aggies have to account for, first and foremost. He's a force with his speed and will be a real trouble for A&M's tackles. The Rebels run a 4-man front most of the time, with a linebacker serving as a standup defensive end looking to get around the edge. They will bring corners and safeties off the edge and bring linebackers up the middle, hoping to get a numeric advantage and a free shot at the quarterback. If the quarterback makes a mistake under pressure, the Rebels have been very opportunistic.

Ole Miss knows what A&M's problem is offensively. They're going to bring the heat and come after Johnson. The Aggies have to find a way to limit it and make them pay when they do.
