Aggies Deliver Statement Win Against Tigers 41-10: No. 25 Texas A&M vs. No. 9 Missouri Live Game Updates
The No. 25 Texas A&M Aggies return to Kyle Field after a quick road trip to Arlington last week to welcome the No. 9 Missouri Tigers, who are hitting the road for their first time this season.
The Aggies held off the Arkansas Razorbacks at AT&T Stadium last week after Nic Scourton strip-sacked Taylen Green on the Pigs' final drive to seal the deal on the 21-17 win, their 12th victory against Arkansas in the past 13 years.
How did Missouri do in their game last week? Trick question. They were on a bye last week, leaving them more rested for this marquee matchup against the Aggies.
With Conner Weigman now slated to start against the Tigers, the 12th Man will wonder how rusty the redshirt sophomore will be after missing the past three games with an AC joint sprain in his throwing shoulder, an injury he suffered in the season opener against Notre Dame, but didn't start sitting out until the second half of the next game against McNeese State.
Of course, this does not go to say that his substitute did not impress. Marcel Reed was eye-opening in his three starts against Florida, Bowling Green, and Arkansas and if Conner Weigman shows to be his same self, then Mike Elko could have a tough decision on his hands, after already dubbing the starting quaterback spot a "game-time decision" for the remainder of the season.
Will the Aggies tame the Tigers in this matchup between two top 25 teams? Or will Missouri emerge victorious in their first road game of the season? Tune in here for live updates as the action goes down from Kyle Field.
