No. 25 Texas A&M blasts No. 9 Missouri with balanced attack

Missouri Tigers

Le’Veon Moss rushed for 138 yards and three touchdowns and Conner Weigman threw for 276 yards as No. 25 Texas A&M dismantled No. 9 Missouri 41-10 in their Southeastern Conference matchup on Saturday in Bryan-College Station, Texas.

The Aggies (5-1, 3-0 SEC) amassed 512 total yards, including 236 on the ground, in winning their fifth straight game. Their defense had six sacks, including 1 1/2 by Nic Scourton, and limited the Tigers (4-1, 1-1) to 79 yards in the first half and 254 for the game.

Missouri had just three plays that went for more than 20 yards, while Texas A&M had seven, including a 75-yard burst by Moss that widened the blowout to 31-0 on the first play from scrimmage in the third quarter.

His 1-yard touchdown run had given the Aggies a 24-0 lead with 6:34 left in the first half. He added an 18-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter as he set a career high for rushing.

Brady Cook, who threw for at least 226 yards in each of the Tigers’ first four games, all played on their home field, managed 186 yards on 13-of-31 passing. A big chunk of those yards came on a 59-yard touchdown strike to Theo Wease with 5:06 left in the third quarter.

Weigman returned after missing three games due to a shoulder injury and completed 18 of 22 passes.

Texas A&M jumped on Missouri at the outset, stopping the Tigers on a fourth-and-2 at the Aggies’ 40 on the first possession of the game. The Aggies then went 60 yards the other way on eight plays, capped by Amari Daniels’ 1-yard touchdown run about five minutes into the game.

Randy Bond’s 44-yard field goal made it 10-0 with 5:01 left in the first period. After the second of three straight three-and-outs for the Tigers, Daniels again scored from 1 yard out to pad the lead to 17-0 on the second play of the second quarter.

Bond added a 38-yard field goal in the third quarter, and after Texas A&M made a goal-line stand in the closing seconds, Missouri’s Blake Craig booted a 23-yarder.
