No. 3 Texas A&M (No. 3 in CFP) went on the road and knocked off No. 17 Missouri (No. 22 CFP) on Saturday, Nov. 8 at Memorial Stadium in Columbia, Missouri in a matchup between two former Big 12 schools that had notable SEC championship ramifications.
The win improved the Aggies to 9-0, giving them their best nine-game start since 1992.
Rueben Owens II rushed for 102 yards and two touchdowns on just 13 carries for Texas A&M. Quarterback Marcel Reed completed 20 of his 29 passes for 221 yards and two touchdowns, along with 29 rushing yards on five carries.
Defensively, the Aggies held a Tigers offense without quarterback Beau Pribula and tight end Brett Norfleet to 284 total yards. Texas A&M safety Dalton Brooks returned a Missouri fumble 26 yards to the Tigers’ 2-yard line in the second quarter and received a direct snap on a fake punt before scampering for a 48-yard gain that set up a field goal in the third quarter.
Much of the Tigers’ damage came on the ground, with running backs Jamal Roberts and Ahmad Hardy combining for 219 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 30 carries. The loss was Missouri’s third in its past four games, all of which came against teams ranked in the top 15 of the US LBM Coaches Poll at the time of the matchup.

Final: Texas A&M 38, Missouri 17
Rueben Owens TD run seals win for Texas A&M
For the second time this quarter, it looks like Rueben Owens II has delivered a dagger to Missouri’s faint hopes for a win. The Texas A&M running back caps off a 65-yard scoring drive with a 1-yard touchdown run to extend the Aggies’ lead to 38-17 with 2:36 remaining.
It’s Owens’ second touchdown run of the game.
Ahmad Hardy TD run gets Missouri within two scores of Texas A&M
Maybe it’s not quite over yet for Missouri.
The Tigers respond to the Rueben Owens touchdown run with a long scoring scamper of their own, with Ahmad Hardy exploding through the middle of the Texas A&M defense for a 45-yard touchdown run to get Missouri within 14, 31-17, with 6:45 remaining.
Rueben Owens TD puts Texas A&M up 21
Whatever small morsel of hope Missouri had for a win after its field goal drive is now gone.
On a third-and-2 from his team’s own 43, Texas A&M Rueben Owens II bursts through a hole in the line and goes 57 yards untouched to the end zone to extend the Aggies’ lead to 21, 31-10, with 7:40 remaining.
That should do it for coach Mike Elko’s squad.
Missouri FG cuts Texas A&M lead to 14
The Tigers make good on the Texas A&M turnover, going 52 yards in 10 plays. The drive is capped off by a 49-yard field goal from Oliver Robbins, getting Missouri within 14, 24-10, with 11:17 left.
Texas A&M fumbles in red zone
Missouri comes up with a much-needed turnover, punching the ball out of Ashton Bethel-Roman’s grasp after what would have been a 22-yard catch down to the Tigers’ 28-yard line. Missouri pounces on it at its own 17-yard line, where it will take over with 14:51 left in the game.
Mario Craver leaves game with injury
After hauling in a 16-yard catch to end the third quarter, Texas A&M receiver Mario Craver exits the game with an injury and is taken to the medical tent on the Aggies’ sideline.
End of third quarter: Texas A&M 24, Missouri 7
Texas A&M’s got the ball at the Missouri 39-yard line with a first down as the third quarter draws to an end.
Texas A&M fake punt leads to field goal
Just when it looked like Missouri was going to get the ball with a chance to get within one score, Texas A&M says, ‘Not so fast.’
After being stopped on third down, the Aggies were set to punt from their own 34-yard line, but the ball is snapped directly to Dalton Brooks, who takes it 48 yards, all the way to the Missouri 18.
Texas A&M isn’t able to get much farther, though, with the Missouri defense standing tall to limit the damage to a 32-yard Randy Bond field goal. The Aggies have a 24-7 lead with 3:10 left in the third quarter.
Jamal Roberts TD gets Missouri on the board
At long last, Missouri has found its way to the end zone.
The Tigers respond nicely to the Concepcion touchdown, taking the ensuing kickoff back 55 yards and converting a pair of third downs to get down to the Texas A&M 4-yard line. From there, Jamal Roberts takes the direct snap and plows his way into the end zone.
Missouri’s deficit is down to 14, 21-7, with 6:50 left in the third quarter.
KC Concepcion TD extends Texas A&M lead
The Aggies are starting to run away with this one.
Facing a third-and-6 from the Missouri 48-yard line, Marcel Reed tosses it out to KC Concepcion in the flat, who follows some hellacious blocks and turns on the after-burners for a touchdown to put Texas A&M up 21-0 with 11:21 left in the third quarter.
Missouri punts
The Tigers’ first drive of the second half goes nowhere, with Missouri going three-and-out and being forced into its fourth punt of the day.

EJ Smith TD run doubles Texas A&M’s lead
Two plays after the Missouri turnover, Texas A&M cashes in, with EJ Smith plowing into the end zone from one yard out, giving the Aggies a 14-0 lead with 20 seconds left in the half.
Smith, a Stanford transfer, is the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith.
Texas A&M forces fumble, gets inside red zone
A game that’s been decidedly lacking big plays just got one. On a third-and-10 from his team’s own 42-yard line, Missouri’s Matt Zollers drops back and is stripped by Daymion Sanford, with the ball popping right into the hands of Texas A&M’s Dalton Brooks. The Aggies safety takes it all the way to the Missouri 2, where the Aggies will have a first-and-goal in the final minute before halftime.
Missouri turns it over on downs
An interesting sequence keeps Missouri off the board. The Tigers attempted a 50-yard field goal from Oliver Robbins wide right, but a Texas A&M defender was whistled for offsides. Faced with a more manageable fourth-and-5 (instead of fourth-and-10) from the Texas A&M 27-yard line, Missouri goes for it, but Matt Zollers is unable to connect with Donovan Olugbode.
The Aggies will take over at their own 27 with 5:09 left in the half.
Albert Regis injured for Texas A&M
Defensive tackle Albert Regis, one of the best players for a vicious Texas A&M front seven, leaves the game with an injury after diving to tackle Missouri’s Jamal Roberts on an 18-yard run.
He was helped off the field and headed to the medical tent on the Aggies’ sideline
Missouri, Texas A&M trade punts
Not a whole lot of offense in central Missouri after the Marcel Reed touchdown pass, with the Tigers and Aggies both punting on their ensuing drives.
Missouri will get the ball back at its own 19-yard line with 8:38 left in the second quarter.
End of first quarter: Texas A&M 7, Missouri 0
Trailing 7-0, Missouri’s got a first down at the Texas A&M 44-yard line as we head into the second quarter.
Marcel Reed TD puts Texas A&M in front
Texas A&M takes advantage of the strong starting field position, going 59 yards in nine plays for a touchdown. The drive was capped off with Marcel Reed connecting with Ashton Bethel-Roman for a 4-yard touchdown pass on third-and-goal.
Reed has completed 10 of his 14 passes for 86 yards.
Missouri punts
Texas A&M will get the ball back in advantageous field position after holding Missouri to a three-and-out. A Connor Weselman punt only travels 35 yards, which will give the Aggies the ball at their own 41-yard line with 5:53 left in the first quarter.
Texas A&M punts
The Aggies’ second drive of the day gets off to a promising start, with Marcel Reed firing off a 12-yard completion on the first play, but they’re unable to pick up another first down and punt. Missouri will take over at its own 23-yard line.
Ahmad Hardy has huge gain for Missouri
Hello, Ahmad Hardy! The fourth-leading rusher in FBS gets Missouri out from the shadow of its own end zone, rushing for 40 yards off the left tackle from the 4-yard line. That’s one way to open up the offense.
Pass interference extends Texas A&M drive
It looks like Missouri forces a Texas A&M punt, but Washington State transfer Stephen Hall is called for defensive pass interference on Mario Craver, giving the Aggies a new set of downs at midfield.
Texas A&M to start on offense
It’s a raucous atmosphere at Faurot Field at Memorial Stadium, which will see Marcel Reed and the Texas A&M offense start on offense. Here we go.
