Missouri vs. Iowa - December 30, 2024

Worthy: Mizzou wins a ‘gritty’ clash with Texas A&MPost-Dispatch sports columnist Lynn Worthy with three immediate observations from the University of Missouri’s win against Texas A&M on Saturday in Columbia. It marked the first win over Texas A&M for Mizzou head coach Eli Drinkwitz.

'Big-time win': What Mizzou coach Eli Drinkwitz, players said after beating Texas A&MHere's what Mizzou coach Eli Drinkwitz, running back Jamal Roberts, quarterback Austin Simmons and safety Trajen Greco had to say after a win over Texas A&M.

Mizzou follows up flashy Florida victory with 'old-fashioned' win over Texas A&MMizzou, for the second weekend in a row, won a game against a Southeastern Conference opponent at Faurot Field rather comfortably. Last Saturday, it was a polished demolition of the Florida Gators. This Saturday, it was a win over the Aggies that was a little more — well, let the Tigers’ coach complete the metaphor. “It wasn’t pretty at times,” Eli Drinkwitz said, “but that’s an old-fashioned SEC game right there.” His Missouri squad, now 5-1 overall and 2-1 against conference opponents at the season’s halfway point, has shown it has the same characteristic that the old-fashioned did in the late 19th century. There’s one identity but multiple recipes. Mizzou 27. Texas A&M 6.

Ask Hoff: Is it time to change win-total predictions for Mizzou football?We're talking big-picture topics like win totals and Ahmad Hardy's future in this week's MU-focused reader Q&A.

No. 8 Florida brings nation's best running back to matchup with No. 25 MizzouJadan Baugh is second in the nation with 600 rushing yards, but leads the country in touchdowns (11) and missed tackles forced (34).

Opponents keep running same third-down play against Mizzou. Can Tigers learn to stop it?When it’s third or fourth down with 3 or fewer yards to gain, MU’s opponents run the ball. If it feels like it happens every time, it’s because it really has happened every time this season. Opposing teams have run the ball against the Missouri defense in all 12 third- or fourth-and-short situations so far in 2026. It’s hardly a surprise that offenses run the ball often in those short-yardage situations. But Mizzou is the only power conference team to have faced at least 10 third- or fourth-and-short situations and see the opposing team run in all of them. Teams are running at the Tigers in those scenarios more often than they are with other defenses.
