Last meeting: Johnny Manziel had 470 yards of total offense and ran for two touchdowns as Texas A&M got a 33-yard Josh Lambo field goal as time expired to win 41-38 at Ole Miss last October.

What to watch for

Ole Miss (5-0, 2-0 SEC) must curb the joy and exultation of its big win over Alabama to focus on a very tough road game against an opponent that was humbled on the road and will be looking for redemption. The Rebels' 23-17 victory turned Oxford into a giant party last Saturday, but one win won't get the job done in the ultra-tough SEC West.

Mississippi got a very clean, calm performance from senior quarterback Bo Wallace, who threw three touchdown passes and had only his second interception-free game of the season. With Wallace clicking and the defense hauling in interceptions (Ole Miss is third nationally with 10 picks) it has the two things that can key a win in College Station.

Texas A&M (5-1, 2-1) was dominated by Mississippi State last week, with nothing going well after near perfection before that. Kenny Hill was intercepted three times, and the Aggies' young defense was exploited over and over again. The 5-0 start against teams that are 12-15 (with FCS Lamar's 4-2 mark the best of the lot) doesn't look as impressive anymore.

"A&M didn't forget how to play football overnight, but its fundamental problems will remain all year long," wrote Adam Jacobi of SB Nation. "And with games against Alabama, Auburn, Ole Miss and even offense-happy Mizzou remaining, it's difficult to see a path to 10 wins for the Aggies."

Getting Ole Miss at home, and right after such an emotional win for the Rebels, might be Texas A&M's best shot to right the ship. We can't say how the rest of the season will go, but the Aggies will pull this one out and keep the SEC West muddied.

Prediction: Texas A&M 38, Ole Miss 34

Final: Ole Miss 35, Texas A&M 20
