Back to reality yet again. The Rebels will hit the road to take on a Texas A&M team that will face a favorable schedule and bring back enough talent to compete for an SEC crown.

Kellen Mond returns and he’ll have the upper-hand against the Rebels’ defense, making the most of the matchup with both his arm and legs. Texas A&M is difficult to beat at home as well and Lane Kiffin will get that taste of the SEC gauntlet when it continues in November.

Under Kevin Sumlin, Texas A&M had the November blues, but not so much under Jimbo Fisher. The Aggies will win this one handily.

Final Score: Ole Miss 20, Texas A&M 38 (3-6, 1-5)

Arkansas is in the same boat as Ole Miss heading into the 2020 season, but the Razorbacks may have an advantage here because of the quarterback position, believe it or not. Feleipe Franks has plenty of experience as Florida’s former starting quarterback and decided to transfer to Arkansas and he may make all the difference.

That experience will help lead the Razorbacks to a crucial late-season win which will, in turn, bounce the Rebels from bowl eligibility.

Final Score: Ole Miss 27, Arkansas 31 (3-7, 1-6)
