Missouri moves up to No. 13 after dominant win over Texas A&M

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - Missouri moved up to No. 13 in the national rankings after a dominant win over Texas A&M in Columbia. The victory was the Tigers’ first over the Aggies since 2014.

Missouri controlled the line of scrimmage, rushing for 252 yards. Jamal Roberts accounted for 222 of those yards and scored two touchdowns.

“When I think he can’t do any more, he does more,” coach Eli Drinkwitz said of Roberts.

The Tigers’ defense also stifled Texas A&M, holding the Aggies to 29 rushing yards on 23 carries and 187 passing yards. Missouri added two interceptions.

“We’re playing physical, we’re playing fast and free,” defensive lineman Trajen Greco said. “We’re tackling way better than we were.”

Missouri also got a key play through the air: a 32-yard touchdown pass from Austin Simmons to Cayden Lee.

The win improved Missouri to 5–1 overall and 2–1 in SEC play. The Tigers visit No. 9 Ole Miss on Saturday afternoon.
