What Happened

Texas A&M announced Thursday that it will wear maroon helmets, white jerseys and white pants Saturday, Oct. 10, at No. 14 Missouri, where the 3-2 Aggies will test whether their 34-7 win over Arkansas marked a real turnaround. Coach Mike Elko credited the response after consecutive losses to Kentucky and LSU. “Proud of the response. Challenged the guys to come out and play physical and control the line of scrimmage,” Elko said. The Aggies rushed for 231 yards and four touchdowns against Arkansas. Missouri, 4-1 after a 45-17 win over Florida, piled up 560 yards in that game. Texas A&M’s SEC championship hopes and season momentum now face a much stronger test.
