Mizzou OL says Texas A&M knew what Tigers were doing ‘a few times’ during Week 11 loss

Mizzou dropped a 38-17 decision to Texas A&M in Week 11, essentially putting an end to the Tigers’ College Football Playoff hopes. The Tigers trailed 14-0 at the half and were within 24-10 in the 4th quarter before the Aggies pulled away to improve to 9-0.
Did the Aggies predict what Mizzou was planning to call, though? Tigers offensive lineman Cayden Green felt that way after the game.
“I feel like they made some good adjustments,” Green said. “They started to kind of key on what we were doing, call out plays at the line. This is what it is.”
Green was then asked to clarify what he meant, and if he was saying that Texas A&M knew was Mizzou was doing before the snap?
“Yeah, a few times. I think they were starting to get reads on formations and stuff. Maybe stances, I don’t know,” Green responded.
While Green noted that it was more of a strong showing by a “really good defense” than anything, his comments won’t do much to ease the frustrations of Mizzou fans hoping that their team would be able to make the 12-team Playoff field.
Meanwhile, the Tigers turn their attention to Week 12 as they host Mississippi State.
