Saturday evening featured a clash between two formidable defensive fronts. However, when it was all said and done, Texas A&M emerged victorious with a 38-17 road win over the No. 19 Missouri Tigers.
Both teams faced challenges throughout the game, with A&M committing several untimely penalties and Missouri struggling to complete passes downfield. The A&M defense had a rollercoaster performance, at times either surrendering a big run or committing pass interference.
Still, they delivered several game-changing plays thanks to Cashius Howell, Dalton Brooks, and Daymion Sanford. In the grand scheme, they allowed just 17 points and kept Missouri’s young quarterback uncomfortable all night.
It wasn’t until the second half that the offense found its rhythm, finally moving the stout Tigers' defensive line off the ball and racking up over 200 rushing yards in the final two quarters. They also diversified their ground attack with quarterback runs and wide receiver jet sweeps. The penalties and inconsistent run fits were frustrating—issues Mike Elko will surely address—but for now, the Aggies are 9-0 and continue building their case to be one of the top seeds.
Below, you’ll find some of the best reactions from social media:

This is one of the better all-around teams since the 1990s
A&M has won big on the road against good teams
Big time plays from big times players
While there were a lot of mistakes, A&M still won by three touchdowns
Is A&M the second-best team in the nation after the win?
Did they make a big enough impression to be ranked No. 1
A case could be made that they are the best in the nation
Coach Elko has Missouri's number
Doubt no more
The Aggies will not be 8-4 this season
The buyout was well worth the money
Recruiting is going to be bananas next weekend at Kyle Field
One of three undefeated is left
The Elko Era is here
