Ole Miss Rebels at No. 8 Texas A&M Aggies
Saturday at 7:30 p.m.; Kyle Field; College Station, Texas
Line: Texas A&M -10.5; Over/Under: 54.5
Just as you thought Kevin Sumlin’s Texas A&M Aggies were a different team this year and wouldn’t falter after a fast start, they choked away a game to the Mississippi State Bulldogs…two weeks after losing to the Alabama Crimson Tide.
So they look like they could be going through the same thing again. John Chavis’s defense is beginning to collapse, Trevor Knight is gone for the year, and the motivation is gone.
What’ll help them this week, then? Well, they are playing a very weak Ole Miss defense, their motivation is gone as well, and they have also lost their quarterback, Chad Kelly, for the year.
As a result, Texas A&M vs Ole Miss is not half as exciting as we thought it might have been just a couple of weeks ago.
What Will Happen?
Jason Pellerin will get his first career start this week as Hugh Freeze will save the redshirt on Shea Patterson. He already has three interceptions in 13 passes.
Jake Hubenak will continue on with the Texas A&M Aggies this week in place of the injured Knight. He has three touchdowns to only one interception and nearly led the Aggies back last week against the Bulldogs.
See the difference? Hubenak will be ready to go and is facing a banged up defense, while Chavis’s defense will give Pellerin hell.
Texas A&M rolls to victory at home due to that.
