COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Bo Wallace ran for two scores and threw a touchdown pass, and Ole Miss’ defense added two scores to help the third-ranked Rebels remain undefeated with a convincing 35-20 victory over No. 14 Texas A&M on Saturday night.

Wallace gave Ole Miss (6-0, 3-0 Southeastern Conference) an early lead with touchdown runs on consecutive possessions in the first quarter. Cody Prewitt returned an interception 75 yards for a score in the second quarter to make it 21-0.

A&M (5-2, 2-2) cut it to 14 in the third quarter, but Wallace answered with 33-yard touchdown pass and Ole Miss padded the lead with Keith Lewis’ 21-yard fumble return for a TD early in the fourth quarter.

Lewis’ touchdown made it 35-7. Texas A&M scored two touchdowns late – including one as time ran out — but never came close to getting back in the game.

Kenny Hill threw for 401 yards and two touchdowns, but also had two interceptions and a fumble for the Aggies, who lost for the second straight week after opening the season 5-0.
