Texas A&M football might be entering Saturday's SEC showdown against No. 14 Missouri as the underdog, but history suggests the Aggies have every reason to feel comfortable making another trip to Columbia.
Texas A&M owns an 11-7 all-time record against Missouri, including three consecutive victories over the Tigers by a combined score of 114-41.

And the Aggies haven't just been winning. They've been dominating.
Last November, Mike Elko's third-ranked Aggies rolled into Faurot Field undefeated and left with an impressive 38-17 victory that improved their record to 9-0.
Quarterback Marcel Reed delivered an efficient performance, completing 20 of 29 passes for 221 yards and two touchdowns.
Running back Rueben Owens II added 102 rushing yards and two scores, including a 57-yard touchdown run that helped put the game away.
Meanwhile, Texas A&M's defense overwhelmed Missouri, limiting the Tigers to 284 total yards and just 77 passing yards.
The victory continued a remarkable turnaround in a rivalry that once belonged to Missouri.
From 2002 through 2011, the Tigers won five of seven meetings against the Aggies, including overtime victories in 2002 and 2011.
But the momentum has shifted dramatically.
Texas A&M has won the last three meetings, including a 41-10 demolition in 2024 and a 35-14 victory in 2021.
The programs first squared off in 1957, when the Aggies shut out Missouri 28-0. Their most lopsided meeting came in 1993, when Texas A&M delivered a stunning 73-0 victory.
Now, the Aggies are hoping history repeats itself.
Texas A&M enters Saturday at 3-2 overall and 1-2 in SEC play following a convincing 34-7 victory over Arkansas.
Missouri, meanwhile, stands 4-1 after dismantling Florida 45-17 behind quarterback Austin Simmons, who threw for 340 yards and two touchdowns.
The Tigers are favored, but the Aggies have already demonstrated they can win in Columbia, where they hold a 5-3 series advantage.
For Elko and his players, Saturday offers an opportunity to build on last week's momentum while extending their recent command of the rivalry.
