Missouri spent the first month of the season quietly putting up numbers without much national attention. That ended Saturday, when the Tigers dismantled No. 8 Florida 45-17 and snapped a nine-game losing streak against ranked opponents.

Texas A&M gets them next. Here are the four players to watch on the Tigers' offense.

Austin Simmons, QB

Simmons has thrown for 1,287 yards and 13 touchdowns through five games without a single interception. That last part is the number A&M should focus on. He has not turned the ball over through the air once this season, and he is doing it while pushing the ball downfield rather than checking down.

Against Florida he was spectacular, going 23-of-30 for 340 yards and two touchdowns, with 238 of those yards coming in the first half alone on 16-of-21 passing. It was his first 300-yard game of the season and earned him SEC co-Offensive Player of the Week.

The number that should concern A&M most is zero. Simmons has not thrown an interception this season, which is remarkable for a quarterback averaging close to 10 yards per attempt. He does not force throws, reads coverages quickly and has been trusted to push the ball downfield without consequence.

He is also the most talented quarterback Eli Drinkwitz has had in Columbia. The Ole Miss transfer beat out Matt Zollers for the job in the spring, and he represents a significant upgrade over both quarterbacks the Aggies have faced from Missouri recently. Brady Cook in 2024 and Zollers in 2025 were serviceable. Simmons is a different level of problem.

Jamal Roberts, RB

Last season, Roberts shared a backfield with Ahmad Hardy in one of the best running back rooms in the country, piling up 753 yards on 124 carries as the complementary back. The two were expected to split carries again this year.

That plan changed in May, when Hardy was injured in a shooting. He has not been able to return to the field, and Roberts has carried the position by himself ever since.

He has handled the full workload without any drop-off, rushing for 606 yards on 113 carries this season with six touchdowns while averaging better than five yards per attempt. He has cleared 100 yards in three of five games.

The Florida performance was the showcase. Roberts finished with 211 yards and three touchdowns on 24 carries, and he did it in bursts. He had only 45 yards on his first 18 attempts before breaking a 77-yard run late in the third quarter, then adding an 80-yard touchdown in the fourth.

He is also running behind a line anchored by preseason All-American left tackle Cayden Green, which is a significant part of why those lanes keep appearing.

Donovan Olugbode, WR

Olugbode worked his way to WR2 as a true freshman last season, catching 30 passes for 401 yards and two touchdowns across all 13 games. Aggies fans may remember him specifically because his 74 yards on three catches against Texas A&M led the Tigers in receiving that day.

He has taken a significant leap as a sophomore. Olugbode has 27 receptions for 416 yards and a team-leading six touchdowns, and he has found the end zone in all five games this season. Against Florida, he caught six passes for 94 yards, including a 47-yard catch-and-run for a score.

He is big and physical, wins most contested balls and has become the preferred target when Missouri wants a chunk play.

Cayden Lee, WR

Lee followed Simmons from Ole Miss, and the familiarity has shown immediately. He leads Missouri with 35 catches for 522 yards and four touchdowns, ranking ninth nationally in receiving yards while averaging 14.9 yards per catch.

His production has been constant. Lee has gone for 89 yards against Arkansas-Pine Bluff, 120 at Kansas, 156 yards and two scores at Mississippi State, and 110 against Florida. PFF charts him with a receiving grade of 88.6, sixth nationally among wide receivers and first in the SEC, and he has not dropped a pass all season.

Where Olugbode wins with size, Lee wins with quickness. He separates easily, creates space after the catch and has been one of the better transfer additions in the conference.

Through four games, the pair had combined for 725 yards and nine touchdowns, the most receiving scores of any duo in the country. A&M cannot roll coverage toward one without leaving the other in a favorable matchup, and Simmons has shown he will find whoever is open.
