Matt Galatzan | Oct 15, 2021

Now it's time for the AllAggies staff to make their game predictions on Texas A&M-Missouri.

Matt Galatzan - Managing Editor/Publisher

Texas A&M heads to Columbia, coming off a major upset win. The week after Alabama is always a tough one, but the Aggies will have renewed momentum on their side and should be able to dominate both sides of the ball.

Let's get this out of the way; no, Texas A&M will not play the same they did against Alabama. Something about the stakes, the team and of course, the underdog feel all factored into college football's greatest upset of 2021.

That doesn't mean A&M can't win on the road. The Aggies must however prove the run game can be established early in Columbia against the FBS worst-ranked run defense.

Isaiah Spiller hasn't finished with over 100 rushing yards since Week 3. Devon Achane hasn't hit triple digits since Week 1. One — if not both — should cross that mark before the whistle blows.

The Aggies suffer the inevitable letdown. How could they not after the physical and emotional wringer of last Saturday? There is no way to match that same fever pitch the Aggies play against Alabama. Luckily, Texas A&M doesn't have to. Missouri, like just about any team in the SEC is dangerous, and the Aggies will do just enough to escape Columbia with a W.

Both teams are coming off Week 6 wins after near-debilitating Week 5 losses. Missouri is 3-1 in Columbia this season while A&M is just 1-1 away from Kyle Field, scoring just 10 points in each game. With the emotions of Aggieland riding high after last Saturday night’s win, this seems like the perfect game for A&M to overlook.
