Overview

  • Kickoff is Saturday, Nov. 8 at 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC from Memorial Stadium in Columbia, Missouri.
  • Starter Beau Pribula is sidelined with a significant ankle injury, making Zollers Missouri’s first true freshman QB starter since 2015.
  • Heisman contender Marcel Reed leads an A&M offense protected by one of the nation’s best lines against a Tigers defense leading the SEC in fewest yards allowed and generating steady sacks.
  • SEC rushing leader Ahmad Hardy (937 yards, 11 TDs) keys Missouri’s attack against an Aggies front that has piled up 32 sacks and is stout against the run.
  • Most expert picks and betting lines lean to Texas A&M by about a touchdown; the Aggies will wear white helmets, white jerseys and maroon pants and remain without RB Le’Veon Moss.
