Overview
- Kickoff is set for Saturday, Nov. 8 at 2:30 p.m. ET on ABC in Columbia.
- Zollers becomes Missouri’s first true freshman starting quarterback since 2015 after finishing the Vanderbilt game when Pribula was injured.
- Texas A&M remains without leading rusher Le’Veon Moss, with Rueben Owens II carrying the load as Mike Elko targets a late-regular-season return for Moss.
- The matchup pits an Aggies offense led by QB Marcel Reed and an offensive line that has allowed no sacks in three straight games against a Tigers defense allowing about 246 yards per game with 2.88 sacks on average and 90.4 rushing yards allowed.
- Analysts largely pick Texas A&M to win, though Missouri’s defense and RB Ahmad Hardy’s 937 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns present clear upset potential.
