Missouri's College Football Playoff aspirations suffered a significant setback Saturday after the Tigers were routed by the Texas A&M Aggies.
Saturday's college football slate only featured one matchup between teams ranked in the AP Top 25. The ninth-ranked Missouri Tigers traveled to Kyle Field to take on the No. 25 Texas A&M Aggies. While Missouri entered the game as the favorites, the Aggies cruised to a 41-10 win. Texas A&M running back Le'Veon Moss was asked if he thought the Aggies shocked their top-10 opponent. 'Most definitely,' he said before laughing.
Texas A&M has now won five straight after dropping its season opener to Notre Dame. 'We are in a growth mindset. ... We are trying to grow every single day,' first-year Texas A&M coach Mike Elko said. 'We didn’t flinch when we didn’t get the job done against Notre Dame.
Missouri’s only touchdown came on a 59-yard pass from Cook to Theo Wease that cut the lead to 34-7 with about five minutes left in the third. Texas A&M has a bye next Saturday before returning to action against Mississippi State Oct. 19. Missouri will look to rebound next week when it hosts Massachusetts.
