No. 3 Texas A&M Rolls Past No. 19 Missouri 38-17 to Stay Unbeaten

Texas A&M's 9-0 start strengthens its path toward the SEC title game.

Overview

  • Marcel Reed threw for 221 yards and two touchdowns as the Aggies moved to 9-0 and 6-0 in the SEC, their best start since 1992.
  • Texas A&M's defense stifled true freshman Matt Zollers, holding him to 7-of-22 passing for 77 yards, with Daymion Sanford's strip setting up an EJ Smith score before halftime.
  • KC Concepcion's 48-yard screen early in the third quarter pushed the margin to 21-0, and Dalton Brooks' 48-yard run on a fake punt set up a field goal for a 24-7 lead.
  • The Aggies surged on the ground after halftime with roughly 220 rushing yards, highlighted by Rueben Owens II's 102 yards and two fourth-quarter touchdowns, including a 57-yarder.
  • Missouri's playoff hopes dimmed as it turned to Zollers with Beau Pribula sidelined, and coach Eli Drinkwitz described a devastated locker room; Texas A&M returns home to face South Carolina next.
