Ahead of No. 3 Texas A&M’s (8-0, 5-0 SEC) road test vs. No. 22 Missouri (6-2, 2-2 SEC) on Saturday afternoon, the Aggies will look to adjust their linebacker rotation once again, knowing that senior LB Scooby Williams will miss Saturday’s game due to an undisclosed injury.
Combined with senior running back Le’Veon Moss, who will continue to be sidelined until his ankle injury is fully healed, safeties Bryce Anderson and Rashad “Tom Tom” Johnson Jr. will also be out. Anderson suffered a head injury during the first half of Texas A&M’s 41-40 road win over Notre Dame and has only appeared in one game since without recording a tackle in limited snaps.

Thanks to the elite play from junior linebacker Daymion Sanford, who has recorded 33 tackles, 2.5 sacks, a forced fumble, and his first career interception, losing Williams isn’t the end of the world, but take away another consistent tackler to stop Missouri star running back Ahmad Hardy, who leads the SEC in rushing with 937 yards and 11 touchdowns.
For the Tigers, junior tight end Brett Norfleet will officially miss the game due to a shoulder injury, which will likely affect Missouri’s passing game unless freshman quarterback Matt Zollers gains rhythm in the pocket, which is only possible if the offensive line holds up against Texas A&M’s pass rush.
