COLLEGE STATION, Texas — After a two-week break, No. 9 Missouri football is set to face the No. 25 Texas A&M Aggies in its first away game of the season.

The Aggies pose the toughest challenge for the Tigers thus far in their 2024 campaign, coming off a 21-17 win over the Arkansas Razorbacks in Week 5.

Before its bye week, Missouri just narrowly defeated the Vanderbilt Commodores at home 30-27 in a double-overtime thriller. It remains undefeated heading into Kyle Field, looking to extend its record and remain in the top 10 of the Southeastern Conference.

Aside from a talented Texas A&M roster led by head coach Mike Elko, the noise the Tigers will encounter will be as much of test to their communication and ability to play in a hectic away environment — playing at the home of the 12th Man for the first time since 2014.

Missouri faced some adversity against the Boston College Eagles and Commodores, but the Aggies will provide the real challenge that will showcase where it stacks up in the SEC.

Second Quarter

  • END OF HALF: Texas A&M 24, Missouri 0
  • 2:18 — Yet another forced punt for Missouri, giving the Aggies enough time to get another score before the half ends. On top of that, Texas A&M will get the ball first in the second half.
  • 6:34 — Le'Veon Moss strikes for a 1-yard touchdown. It is now a 24-0 lead for Texas A&M, Missouri's chances at finding itself back in the game are getting slimmer.
  • The Tigers have had a couple opportunities for big defensive plays, including a near interception from Toriano Pride Jr.. Have to hope at some point one of these opportunities will be capitalized on.
  • Cook is finding lots of gaps in the open field, but not enough to extend drives. Has already taken lots of hits.
  • 14:27 — Daniels brings in the ball at the 1-yard line for a touchdown. Aggies lead 17-0.

First Quarter

  • Weigman threw for 113 yards and 10-of-12 completions in the first quarter, while Cook threw for 44 yards and 2-of-6 completions. Big difference at the quarterback position right now.
  • 4:45 — Cook finds an open Luther Burden III for a 75-yard touchdown, but gets called for an ineligible receiver that overturned the play. Would've been a break for a slow start offensively.
  • 5:06 — Randy Bond drills a 44-yard field goal, Texas A&M now leads 10-0.
  • 8:10 — Quick three-and-out for Missouri. Brady Cook overthrew to Wease Jr. and was then sacked by Daymion Sanford for a 3-yard loss.
  • 9:40 — Amari Daniels scores a 25-yard rushing touchdown through the middle of the Missouri defense. Puts the Aggies up 7-0.
  • Conner Weigman is in fact the starting quarterback for the Aggies.
  • 12:50 — Tigers turn the ball over on downs, possible DPI went uncalled on a pass intended for Theo Wease Jr.
  • Texas A&M wins the toss and defers to the second half, Missouri will start the game on the receiving end.

Pre Game

  • NFL scouts in attendance: Saints, Giants, Bills, Patriots (2), Texans (4), Dolphins, Ravens, Titans, Panthers (2), Bears
  • Marquis Johnson was seen practicing on the field with the rest of the team.
  • The Texas A&M radio network announced that Conner Weigman will be starting at QB for the Aggies. Both Weigman and Marcel Reed were announced as starters for Texas A&M at QB during pregame introductions.
