Aggies Week 9 Opponent Preview: Ole Miss Rebels

The Aggies will return home to take on the Rebels, looking to snap a three-game losing streak.

The Texas A&M Aggies return home to take on the Ole Miss Rebels following their 30-24 loss to the South Carolina Gamecocks, which was their third straight loss. 

Last season's matchup saw the Aggies hit the road to take on the No. 12 Rebels, a game in which they would lose 29-19. In the loss, the Aggies would allow 504 yards of total offense, with a near-even split of 247 passing yards and 257 passing yards. 

The Rebels currently find themselves ranked No. 15 overall and still in the hunt for a spot in not only the SEC championship game but also a potential College Football Playoff berth. A win over Ole Miss could drastically change Texas A&M's season, which would be big for a program looking to find its footing. 

Here at AllAggies.com, we will be providing an in-depth look at the Rebels throughout the week, starting today with a look at their depth chart on both sides of the ball.
