No. 25 Texas A&M (5-1, 3-0 SEC) earned a statement win at Kyle Field with a dominant 41-10 win on Saturday afternoon over the No. 9 Missouri Tigers (4-1, 1-1 SEC) for the program’s largest win over a top-10 team in program history.
The Aggies started the game, hitting all cylinders on both sides of the ball in a lopsided top-25 contest in a critical conference game. With the return of redshirt sophomore quarterback Conner Weigman, who missed the previous four games with a shoulder injury, the difference in the offense with a healthy Weigman stood out early and often, with him converting pass after pass and even using his feet to pick up a few first downs.
Before we talk about how dominant the defense looked, we have to give junior running back Le’Veon Moss his props on a three-touchdown game with over 100 yards rushing.
The defense looked like a top-25 squad, given how much pressure the defensive line put on Missouri quarterback Brady Cook, sacking the senior six times with eight tackles for loss and completely shutting down the running game.
The Aggie D played well on all three levels, and outside of one broken play, they limited the big plays to a minimum. Nic Scorton and Will “The Blanket” Lee III performed All-SEC in the blow victory.
Overall, outside of the blowout score, Texas A&M’s balanced offensive attack under OC Collin Klein was what many of us expected before the season, while the defense’s elite play in the trenches paired with closing speed in the secondary is certainly a sight for sore eyes
Going into the bye week, the Aggies’ next game is on the road against Mississippi State at Davis Wade Stadium in Starkville, Miss., on Oct. 19.
