Le'Veon Moss keys Texas A&M's blowout of No. 9 Missouri

COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Le'Veon Moss ran for a career-high 138 yards with three touchdowns and No. 25 Texas A&M handed ninth-ranked Missouri its first loss with a 41-10 victory Saturday.

It's the fifth straight win for Texas A&M (5-1, 3-0 SEC) and first-year coach Mike Elko after a loss to Notre Dame in the season-opener.

"We are in a growth mindset... we are trying to grow every single day," Elko said. "We didn't flinch when we didn't get the job done against Notre Dame."

Texas A&M was up 24-0 at halftime and padded the lead when Moss ran 75 yards for a touchdown on the first play of the third quarter. He burst through a hole in the line and evaded one tackle before simply outrunning everyone for his second score of the day.

"We just wanted to come out and continue to put our foot on their neck," Moss said. "That's it."

When he scored his third TD on an 18-yard run early in the fourth quarter that made it 41-7, the crowd of 97,049 broke into chants of: "overrated, overrated."

Brady Cook had 186 yards passing with a touchdown for Missouri (4-1, 1-1), which was playing its first road game of the season.

Missouri coach Eliah Drinkwitz said he was "embarrassed" by his team's performance.

"We weren't competitive and that's not Mizzou football," he said.

Conner Weigman threw for 276 yards in his return after missing three games with an injury to his throwing shoulder.  Amari Daniels added two rushing scores.

The tone was set early when the Tigers were stopped on fourth-and-2 on their first drive to give the Aggies the ball at their 40. Cook's pass to Theo Wease was knocked down on the play and a flag was thrown, but it was picked up and no penalty was called.

"We can't let one play dictate the the rest of the game," Drinkwitz said. "Obviously it was a momentum play but we had plenty of other opportunities."

A 25-yard run by Daniels got Texas A&M to the 1 and he scored on the next play to make it 7-0.

Texas A&M led 10-0 when Missouri receiver Luther Burden III looked to have scored on a 75-yard reception. But it was called back when the Tigers were flagged for having an illegal receiver downfield.

Another 1-yard TD run by Daniels extended the lead to 17-0 early in the second quarter.

The Aggies put together an 11-play, 88-yard drive, highlighted by a 40-yard reception by Jahdae Walker and capped by a 1-yard run from Moss, to push the lead to 24-0.

Missouri's only touchdown came on a 59-yard touchdown pass from Cook to Wease that cut the lead to 34-7 with about five minutes left in the third.
