Missouri Runs for 254 Yards and Buries Texas A&M 27-6
Jamal Roberts carried the ball 34 times for 222 yards and two touchdowns. Texas A&M, as a team, ran it 23 times for 29. That is the game.
A&M got on the board first with a 53-yard David Olano field goal with 4:46 left in the first quarter, and that was the only lead the Aggies ever had. Missouri took over in the second: Cayden Lee caught a 32-yard touchdown from Austin Simmons with 12:58 left in the half, and Blake Craig added a 50-yard field goal to make it 10-3. Craig kicked another from 51 yards early in the third, and Roberts scored from two yards out as the third quarter expired. That made it 20-3.
Texas A&M never got a touchdown. Olano's 27-yard field goal in the fourth made it 20-6, and then Roberts closed it out with a 54-yard run with 2:49 left. Take away that one run and it is still 20-6, a two-score game, so the late touchdown only dressed up the margin.
The turnovers matter too. Marcel Reed completed 19 of 39 for 187 yards and threw two interceptions, and finished with minus 18 rushing yards on 7 carries. Missouri threw one pick of its own but had three sacks to A&M's none. Missouri finished with 401 total yards to 216.
Missouri is 5-1 and Texas A&M is 3-3. Roberts was the top fantasy player at 38 points, and Lee added 22.4. Simmons threw only 28 times, so the fantasy scoring came largely from the ground game.
