The No. 25 Texas A&M Aggies return to Kyle Field after a quick road trip to Arlington last week to host the No. 9 Missouri Tigers, who are hitting the road for the first time this season.
The Aggies secured a hard-fought 21-17 win over the Arkansas Razorbacks at AT&T Stadium, with Nic Scourton sealing the deal by strip-sacking Taylen Green on the Razorbacks’ final drive. That marked Texas A&M’s 12th victory against Arkansas in the last 13 years.
As for Missouri? Trick question—the Tigers were on a bye last week, giving them extra rest heading into this marquee matchup.
Conner Weigman is set to start for the Aggies after missing the past three games with an AC joint sprain in his throwing shoulder, an injury sustained in the season opener against Notre Dame. He initially played through the injury before sitting out in the second half against McNeese State.
His backup, Marcel Reed, performed admirably in Weigman’s absence, leading Texas A&M to wins over Florida, Bowling Green, and Arkansas. If Weigman returns to full form, coach Mike Elko might face a tough decision moving forward, having already declared the starting quarterback spot a “game-time decision” for the remainder of the season.
Will the Aggies defend their home turf and tame the Tigers, or will Missouri claim victory in their first road game of the season? Follow the action live as it unfolds at Kyle Field.
The Aggies win the coin toss and defer to the second half. The Tigers will receive the opening kick.
