Texas A&M followed its encouraging win over Arkansas with another disappointing road performance, falling 27-6against No. 14 Missouri on Saturday.
The Aggies entered the game with an opportunity to show that their earlier losses to Kentucky and LSU were behind them. Instead, many of the same problems returned. The offense failed to score a touchdown for the second time in three games, Marcel Reed struggled with his accuracy and the running game never gave him much help.
A&M’s defense kept the game close for most of the first half, but the offense couldn't capitalize. Missouri eventually wore the Aggies down before Jamal Roberts’ 54-yard touchdown run put the game away late in the fourth quarter.
Texas A&M is now 3-3 overall and 1-3 in SEC play.
The Aggies will get a break from conference competition when they host The Citadel next Saturday, but beating an FCS opponent will not answer the larger questions surrounding this team.
Here is whose stock rose and fell against Missouri.
Stock up: David Olano
Olano continues to be one of the few Aggies who have consistently done his job. He connected from 53 yards during the first quarter and added a 27-yard field goal in the fourth, accounting for all six of A&M’s points.
The offense repeatedly failed to finish drives, but Olano capitalized on both opportunities. He has now made his first nine field-goal attempts this season, becoming the first Aggie to accomplish that since Todd Pegram made his first 12 in 2004.
Stats: 2-for-2 on field goals / Long of 53 yards / Six points
Stock up: Tyler White

White was again asked to stay busy because the offense couldn't sustain drives. He averaged a season-high 52.7 yards on seven punts and helped keep Missouri from consistently starting drives with favorable field position.
It is never a great sign when the punter is one of the team’s most productive players, but White keeps giving the defense a chance when the offense stalls.
Stats: Seven punts / 52.7 yards per punt
Stock up: TK Norman
Norman delivered the Aggies’ biggest play in the passing game and set a new career-high in receiving yards. His opportunities were limited, but he caught every pass thrown his way and showed he deserves a larger role moving forward.
A&M needs someone other than Mario Craver and Isaiah Horton to create plays through the air. Norman made the most of his chances against Missouri.
Stats: Three receptions / 55 yards / 32-yard long
Stock down: Marcel Reed
Reed needed to build on his improved performance against Arkansas. Instead, his accuracy and decision-making problems returned against Missouri.
He completed fewer than half of his passes, threw two interceptions and failed to lead a touchdown drive. The offensive line allowed three sacks, but Reed also missed open receivers and struggled to generate anything when the initial play broke down.
This is no longer a one-game slump. Reed has now struggled in three of A&M’s four SEC games, and questions about the quarterback position will only grow.
Stats: 19-of-39 passing / 187 yards / No touchdowns / Two interceptions / Three sacks
Stock down: Holmon Wiggins
Texas A&M’s offensive improvement against Arkansas did not carry over to Missouri. The Aggies finished with only 216 total yards, 10 first downs, and six points, converting five of their 17 third-down attempts.
A&M never established its running game and averaged just 1.3 yards per carry when you include sacks. Wiggins needs an offense Reed can execute consistently because the current approach has failed too often against SEC competition.
Stats: 216 total yards / 29 rushing yards / 10 first downs / 5-of-17 on third down / No touchdowns
Stock down: Run Defense
The defense played well enough to keep A&M within striking distance early, but Missouri eventually took complete control on the ground.
Jamal Roberts carried the Tigers’ offense and finished with more rushing yards by himself than the Aggies produced as a team. His 54-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter ended any chance of a late comeback.
The defense got little help from the offense and spent too much time on the field, but you can't dismiss allowing one player to run for more than 200 yards as fatigue alone.
Stats: 252 rushing yards allowed / 5.7 yards per carry / Jamal Roberts recorded 222 yards and two touchdowns
