Keys to an Aggie victory

Winning 3rd down: Texas A&M has played fantastic third down defense this season, allowing teams to convert only 30% of the time. Defensive coordinator Mark Snyder has been able to help his young secondary by dialing up pressure on third downs. The Aggie defensive line, led by Damontre Moore and Spencer Nealy, has been perhaps the unsung hero so far this season. Missouri, converting only 31% on third down, will certainly have its work cut out for it on Saturday.
