'They're a great, talented team': Missouri star QB praises Texas A&M

Texas A&M’s recent momentum carries into their SEC showdown with No. 14 Missouri this weekend, as the Aggies look to secure their first win over the Tigers under head coach Eli Drinkwitz.

After a dominant 34-7 victory over Arkansas last Saturday, Texas A&M’s offense—led by a resurgent rushing attack—will face Missouri’s stout 12th-ranked defense, which recently stifled Florida in a Week 5 win. The Aggies’ climb to No.

42 in the latest USA TODAY Re-Rank reflects their improved form, while Missouri’s Austin Simmons and supporting playmakers will test Texas A&M’s secondary, including standout safety Tawfiq Byard. With the Tigers searching for their first top-25 scalp since 2024, this matchup in Columbia could redefine both teams’ season trajectories—especially if the Aggies convert their road win into a statement victory.

ESPN FPI currently gives Missouri a slim 3% edge, underscoring the competitive balance ahead of Saturday’s clash.
