First of all, I think a lot of people are piling on Ole Miss . But I really think they might sweep every game going forward.

The positives are the WR and the QB. How many games has Ole Miss had a lead at halftime? As long as you have playmakers like that, I expect Ole Miss can compete.

The issue, at least to me, is that Ole Miss feels pressure to score on every possession because of that defense. Also, that O line puts Swag in a terrible spot where he has to be a playmaker every time. Personally, I thought he was pretty amazing last night, and think he is probably the best qb in the sec.

Remaining SEC games are Vandy, Aggies and Miss State. I think they will win all three, tbh.

They wont beat A&M.

They'll score their usual 21-24 at the half and then Chavis will shut that down.

Yeah that team is not beating A&M. Trayveon Williams may set the single game freshman rushing record against defense.

If Ole Miss couldn't hold Auburn to less than 40 points (A&M allowed 16 at Auburn) at home and couldn't hold Alabama to less than 48 (A&M allowed 33 at Alabama) at home, what makes you think they will hold A&M below 40 on the road?

Just a matter of motivation to me. We've had chances to win all but one of our games. At Aggy is a tremendous challenge because they do run but a motivated OM will definitely make them earn it. Not playing for much more than a local bowl game though. Can they get motivated?

maybe because a&m is soft, has male cheerleaders, and doesn't belong in the same conversation as auburn and Alabama?

I am not sure they will hold A&M to less than 40. But that is not the same as saying they will not win.

They have to hold serve every offensive possession. Tough, but I think they can do it. They put up 43 on Alabama.

A&M will run for 350 yards against Ole Miss. Kelly will make some plays but force a throw or 2 and A&M will win 45-34 or something

They got 7 on defense and then 14 at the end during scramble mode down by 20.

I just don't think they can tackle or pass block. Kelly is incredible but it's impossible to ask a guy to make all those plays and not make a few mistakes.

everybody runs against Ole Miss for 300 yards. I am probably wrong, but A&M just doesn't strike fear into hearts like Bama, LSU and Auburn does....prove me wrong, Aggie.

I agree with your point about blocking and tackling, but a QB like Kelly is the X-factor. Not only can throw pretty amazingly, he runs very well also.

Like someone else posted, it may come down to motivation. And I am not trying to diminish A&M, I think they are a really good team. But it would not surprise me at all if Ole Miss pulled the upset.

Bama got 21 non offensive points, not to mention they gave up over 500 yds of offense...congrats on a hard fought and well deserved victory over Ole Miss

Best case scenario for OM is 6-6. We will not beat A&M.

Our defense does not have the horses to get stops and the offense is opposed to scoring in the second half of games. That's not a recipe for success.
