WATCH: Texas A&M's pre-game hype video before facing No. 14 Missouri

Here is Texas A&M's weekly pre-game hype video before the Aggies face Missouri on Saturday afternoon.

Texas A&M faces Missouri in a crucial matchup as part of the season's most intense phase. Head coach Mike Elko has maintained an undefeated record against Missouri during his tenure. However, Ole Miss transfer Austin Simmons, who delivered an impressive performance against Florida with 340 yards and two touchdowns, could prove to be a formidable opponent for A&M's defense.

In Week 5, Texas A&M showcased their defensive prowess by dominating Arkansas 34-7, with Marcel Reed contributing 170 passing yards, 66 rushing yards, and a touchdown. The defensive unit, which struggled in previous losses to Kentucky and LSU, managed to hold the Razorbacks to just seven points and 111 passing yards.

To secure the upset victory, Texas A&M's strategy centers around maintaining a strong ground game with at least five yards per carry to create play-action opportunities for Reed. Additionally, the team must limit Missouri's explosive plays in the passing game and force Simmons to make quick decisions in the pocket. National analysts have been divided on the game's outcome, with Missouri being a slight 3.5-point home favorite, despite A&M's impressive performance last Saturday.

The game is scheduled to take place on Saturday at 11:00 a.m. at the Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, with the match being broadcast on ABC.
