Everything we learned after Texas A&M's 27-6 road loss to Missouri

Texas A&M suffered a 27-6 loss to Missouri on Saturday, dropping their record to 3-3 and 1-3 in SEC play. The Aggies' offense struggled, producing only two first downs in the first half and three total offensive yards in the third quarter. Starting quarterback Marcel Reed made several poor decisions and showed poor accuracy, while the offensive line failed to hold up in pass protection and run blocking.

Coach Mike Elko is under pressure to make changes in the transfer portal, but current backups Brady Hart and Helaman Casuga likely won't improve the situation. Texas A&M's defense performed well, preventing Missouri's Austin Simmons from connecting on many plays and limiting Jamal Roberts' rushing impact. However, the defense itself has shown improvement recently, which is promising.

Freshman Helaman Casuga made eight tackles in his season debut. Meanwhile, Reed's poor performance, which included two interceptions, may prompt Elko to make changes this offseason. The Aggies' offensive line also faced issues, as they failed to create opportunities for Reed and the running game. With Alabama's game looming, Texas A&M will need to improve both the offense and defense to avoid another blowout loss.
