COMMENTS
It’s tough to win on the road in the SEC but Texas A&M takes it to another level. First the crowd (over 100,000) and next the heat. At the time of writing this it was 96 degrees in College Station. The Junction boys are used to that heat but the Missouri squad probably is not. The Tigers have played all four of their games so far at home. Missouri has a better offense with athlete Luther Burden and quarterback Brady Cook.
