Amari Daniels and the Texas A&M Aggies are on the board early in College Station.
The Aggies drove the field 60 yards in 8 plays, highlighted by a 25-yard run by Daniels just before punching in the opening score. Daniels is already up to 26 yards on just 2 carries so far against the Tigers.

The Aggies and Tigers have certainly not been able to avoid drama to start this one. On Missouri’s first drive officials picked up a flag on an obvious pass interference against A&M cornerback Will Lee III. That call was especially important because it came on 4th down when the Tigers were trying to sneak one by the Aggies.
Of course, it backfired. The Aggies were in the end zone just minutes later and now once again have the rock, beginning drive No. 2 on the day.
Conner Weigman is leading the way for the Aggies early in place of Marcel Reed, who has filled in for the previously injured Weigman. He’s had a strong start to this one so far, but Mizzou’s defense is bound to make adjustments as the game wears on.
We should be in for a good one here, folks. The Aggies lead 10-0 over the Tigers with just over 5 minutes remaining in the first quarter.
