PLAYERS TO WATCH
–RB Trayveon Williams was a bright spot for the Aggies in their loss to Auburn, leading the team in rushing and receiving. On 17 carries, he tallied 107 yards and two touchdowns (6.3 yards per carry). Williams also had five receptions for 75 yards and a score.
–DB Larry Pryor, a junior, had one of his most active games of the season last week against Auburn. He tallied four total tackles in the loss, including a sack, and registered his first pass defended of the season. Pryor is seeing increased playing time, starting at safety as a result of injuries to Texas A&M’s defense.
–DE Landis Durham, a senior, had one of his quieter games for Texas A&M this season in the loss to Auburn. Durham, who has five total sacks this season, went without a sack against Auburn for the first time in four games. With 37 tackles and 7.5 stops for a loss, Durham is consistently one of the best playmakers for the Aggies’ defense and will look to return to form against Ole Miss.
SERIES HISTORY: Texas A&M leads the series against Ole Miss 7-3, which dates to 1911. Of the 10 games played, eight have been decided by seven points or fewer.
QUOTE TO NOTE: “There’s no magical formula. There’s no magical dust. Just relax and keep playing like you did in the third quarter. Quit worrying about the results of the game and play the game.” — Jimbo Fisher on Texas A&M finishing games
