The Southeastern Conference has put Texas A&M’s trip to Missouri in the morning window on Oct. 10, but the exact kickoff slot still hinges on what happens this Saturday in Columbia.
The game will either begin at 11 a.m. on ABC or 11:45 a.m. on SEC Network, with the conference leaving the final call in the six-day window. That setup makes this weekend’s Florida at Missouri game the likely decider, since the winner is expected to land on ABC for its next outing.
Texas A&M heads back to Columbia, Mo., for a second straight season, looking for another win over the Tigers after last year’s 38-17 result. The Aggies also went into the 2024 meeting and won in convincing fashion, rolling to a 41-10 victory in Kyle Field on Oct. 16, 2024.
Missouri is one of Texas A&M’s three permanent conference opponents under the SEC’s new nine-game schedule, alongside LSU and Texas. The Oct. 10 game will also mark the Aggies’ first trip to Columbia since Memorial Stadium’s new endzone facade was completed.
Texas A&M is 2-2 overall and 0-2 in SEC play, while Missouri enters at 3-1 and 0-1. The Aggies have won the last three meetings, and they lead the all-time series 11-7.
The teams have met 18 times, with most of those games coming during their Big 12 days. Missouri claimed all seven of its wins in the series between 2002 and 2014.
Before that matchup arrives, Texas A&M will host Arkansas on Saturday, Oct. 3 at 6 p.m. on ESPN 2. Missouri, meanwhile, faces another ranked test this weekend, taking on No. 4 Florida at 1:30 p.m. on ABC.

Johnny Manziel Just Said What Texas A&M Fans Are Fearing
Johnny Manziels postgame criticism landed with the kind of force only a former Texas A&M star can bring. After the loss to LSU, he took to social media to question what the Aggies are doing right now, and the reaction was not hard to understand. The offense has struggled to find rhythm, the defense has had its own issues, and the overall look has been of a team still searching for something steady to hang onto in SEC play.
For Aggies fans, the uncomfortable part is that the problems do not seem isolated to one side of the ball. Coaching, cohesion and the lack of a clear offensive identity have all become part of the conversation, with the running game looking like one area that could help set a tone if it ever gets going. Until then, the concern Manziel voiced is the same one hovering over the program: the season feels like it needs a reset, and there is no obvious sign yet of where that comes from. [Read more 🡒]
Mario Craver Is Giving Texas A&M Fans A New Reason To Vent
Texas A&Ms rocky start has already left Aggies fans looking for answers after two straight losses erased the momentum of a 2-0 opening, and now receiver Mario Craver has given them another topic to grumble about. The latest frustration came off the field, where Craver drew criticism on social media after liking Instagram photos of Peyton Blomquist, the Florida Gators fan who went viral during Floridas win over Ole Miss.
For a fan base already uneasy about the direction of the season, the timing could hardly be worse. Even a small social media gesture can become a talking point when a team is trying to steady itself, and Cravers online activity landed in the middle of a week when Texas A&M supporters were already searching for reasons to feel better about a 2-2 start.

Texas A&M Fans Wont Love What Elko Is Facing After LSU Loss
A rough night in Baton Rouge left Texas A&M searching for answers after a 35-6 loss to LSU dropped the Aggies to 2-2 overall and 0-2 in SEC play. The offense never found much rhythm, the defense spent too much time on its heels, and the kind of complementary football Mike Elko has been trying to build was nowhere to be found.
Marcel Reeds uneven performance only added to the frustration, but Elko said he is not changing the starting quarterback for now. For a fan base already uneasy about the early conference skid, the bigger concern may be how many areas need fixing at once, from protection and execution on offense to a defense that could not generate pressure or keep LSU from piling up passing yards.
