Texas A&M (5-1, 3-0 SEC) looks like one of the best teams in the conference after demolishing Missouri (4-1, 1-1 SEC) 41-10 on Saturday afternoon. Looking to build momentum heading into the bye week, the return of quarterback Conner Weigman helped pave the way for an elite performance from the Aggie offense.
Weigman completed 18/22 for 276 yards on the day. While he didn’t throw a touchdown, the Aggie ground game produced 236 rushing yards and five touchdowns as OC Collin Klein’s impressive scheme with Weigman under center produced chunk gains in the passing game to set up successful runs in the red zone.
Defensively, Texas A&M’s defensive line continued its dominance in last week’s win over Arkansas, producing six sacks and eight tackles for loss while limiting the Tigers to 68 yards on the ground. At the same time, Missouri QB Brady Cook threw for 186 yards and one touchdown.
Texas A&M’s win over Missouri was technically an upset due to the Tigers’ previous top 10 ranking, but the chaos that followed the win has completely shaken up the newest AP Top 25 rankings. Alabama and Tennessee both fell on the road, keeping A&M atop the SEC standings.
