Mizzou suffers ugly defeat at Texas A&M

The Tigers went into 'Aggie Land' looking to make a statement, but Texas A&M flipped the script, dominating from the jump and securing a 41-10 victory.

After a 27-yard reception to Luther Burden got the game started, it was all Aggies from that point on.

The game was flipped on its head early when the refs picked up a potential pass interference call against Texas A&M. This came on a 4th-and-two on Mizzou's first possession of the game.

When the Aggies got the ball back they went right down the field, finishing the drive off with a 1-yard touchdown run from Amari Daniels.

The Aggies did whatever they wanted offensively, moving the ball with ease and getting absolutely no pushback from Mizzou.

While the game was decided early, it became apparent where the game was decided. The Aggies dominated the Tigers in the trenches, winning both the offensive and defensive line continuously.

Another one of the keys to the win for A&M was third down conversions on both sides of the football. Even when backed up, the Aggies managed to convert at a ridiculously high rate, finishing the game 7-12 on third downs.

For Mizzou, it was the opposite as third downs were a struggle all game, settling for punts time-after-time. The Tigers finished the game 5-13 on third down conversions, which is simply not good enough.

Another critical play was called back by the refs midway through the first quarter when they took a 75-yard Luther Burden touchdown off the board for an ineligible man down the field.

The Aggies' offense was dominant, both on the ground and through the air, led by Conner Weigman. He went 18-22 for 276 yards in the win. Weigman did all of this without recording a touchdown on Saturday.

Texas A&M's rushing game dominated Mizzou's defensive front, as the Aggies ran for 234 yards in the win. Le'Veon Moss carried the ball 12 times for 138 yards and 3 touchdowns, but it was actually Daniels who got things started on the ground, scoring the first two touchdowns for Texas A&M.

Weigman added a ton of value with his legs, picking up a number of first downs scrambling. He finished the game with 33-yards, but all of them seemed to come at important times.

Mizzou finally connected on a big play to Theo Wease with 5:06 remaining in the third quarter, going for a 59-yard touchdown pass. This was the lone score for the Tigers who failed to mount any kind of sustained offense.

Brady Cook was shaky yet again, which has been a common theme this season. On many occasions he missed open receivers, delivering a ton of non-catchable passes. There was a lot of frustration offensively for the Tigers.

Cook finished the game 12-28 throwing for 191 yards in a poor showing from the senior quarterback.

Mizzou will look to bounce back when they travel to UMass next week in the final non-conference matchup of the season for the Tigers.
