Texas A&M and Ole Miss entered last weekend with the SEC's highest-scoring offenses, but both were held in check en route to their first losses in league play.
That sets up Saturday night's meeting in Oxford between the 15th-ranked Aggies and 24th-ranked Rebels as a de facto East division elimination game.
A&M (5-1, 2-1 SEC) was averaging 39.2 points prior to a season-low tally and 316 total yards in Saturday's 41-23 loss at then-No. 10 Alabama. Ole Miss (5-2, 2-1) had scored 46.8 per game, fifth nationally, before a 37-24 upset at previously unranked Memphis.
