No. 3 Texas A&M (8-0, 5-0 SEC) is two days away from taking on No. 22 Missouri (6-2, 2-2 SEC) in Columbia on Saturday afternoon. The game marks the end of the Aggies’ successful — so far — three-game road trip that has produced wins against Arkansas and LSU. The Week 9, 49-25 blowout in the latter led to Tigers coach Brian Kelly losing his job.
After the Week 10 bye, coach Mike Elko made his weekly media rounds, including the “Pat McAfee Show” on Thursday afternoon. He praised the team’s resilience while breaking down various barriers that have kept the Aggies from postseason contention in years past.
The Aggies are entering one of the toughest road environments in the SEC.
Missouri freshman quarterback Matt Zollers leads an offense looking to establish the run behind star running back Ahmad Hardy, who leads the SEC in rushing. On the flip side, Texas A&M’s offense has produced more than 400 yards in four consecutive road games and has yet to struggle against top defenses.
Missouri’s defense, however, is the real deal. It is limiting opponents to fewer than 19 points per game and an average of 90.4 rushing yards. After shredding LSU’s elite secondary, Marcel Reed and transfer wide receivers Mario Craver and KC Concepcion have yet to be contained. Still, if the Aggies don’t establish a balance, this could be a tight contest heading into the fourth quarter.
What uniform will Texas A&M don on Saturday? According to the latest Texas A&M athletics department video, the Aggies will go with white helmets, white jerseys and maroon pants. It is a look the program has not gone with since the 2016 season against the Auburn Tigers.
Texas A&M will face Missouri on Saturday (Nov. 8) at 2:30 p.m. The game will be shown on ABC.
