I believe the setting is superb, despite the curmudgeons who label the misnamed "tailgating" scene as overhyped, especially late in the fall among the splendid trees in the South.
Minus further ado five things to watch when the Aggies play for the fourth time at Mississippi since joining the SEC in 2012:
Nick Starkel The A&M freshman threw for 416 yards in only playing the first half a week ago against New Mexico, ninth on the school's all-time single game passing charts (in two quarters!).
He'll get to play more than a half against Ole Miss in his first SEC start, and whether he can sling it around at least a little bit like he did against the Lobos is key to A&M's hopes on Saturday night.
If Luke wins on Saturday, he will have bested the deposed Hugh Freeze's final season of 5-7 last year.
