QUARTERBACK

• Austin Simmons is MIZ's confirmed starter

  9.34 Y/A

  Austin Simmons is MIZ's confirmed starting quarterback. Robert Behrens' October 5 preview explicitly identifies Simmons as Missouri's starting quarterback for the Texas A&M matchup; Missouri's October 8 official preview also discusses him. 2026 line: 1270 passing yards, 67.6% completions, 9.34 yards per attempt, 13-0 TD-INT over 5 games.

• Marcel Reed is TA&M's confirmed starter

  6.09 Y/A

  Marcel Reed is TA&M's confirmed starting quarterback. Cameron Ohnysty's October 9 Missouri game report explicitly identifies Reed as Texas A&M's starting quarterback and discusses his role against Missouri. 2026 line: 908 passing yards, 57.0% completions, 6.09 yards per attempt, 6-4 TD-INT over 5 games.

TURNOVERS

• MIZ: 0.4 turnovers committed per game to TA&M's 1.2

  0.8 TO

  Missouri has turned it over just 0.4 times a game through 5 games, well below 1.31 last season, while Texas A&M is at 1.2, near its 1.46 last year. Very low turnover rates rarely last, so expect Missouri to give a few away. The edge in ball security leans Missouri, but by less than this gap suggests.

MISMATCH

• MIZ: 275 pass yards a game to TA&M's 188.8

  275 VS 188.8

  Missouri is throwing for 275 yards a game through 5 games, Texas A&M 188.8. The two have swapped places from last season, when A&M threw for 259.8 and Missouri 188. Five games is a decent read, though some of that swing could come from the defenses each has faced. A&M likely needs to win this on the ground and keep Missouri's passing game off the field, so how A&M runs early tells you a lot about how this goes.
