Offense:

  • D.J Durkin, Texas A & M’s second year defensive coordinator, specifically targets the quarterback with different blitz packages. That being said, Jaxson Dart will need to make quick decisions and throw short passing routes. 
  • Ole Miss’ offense needs to be two-dimensional and develop a run game and a passing game, so that the Aggies do not know what to expect and are kept off balance. 
  • Edgerrin Cooper leads A & M in total tackles; he was just named the SEC’s defensive player of the week. Know where he is at all times and double team him.
