COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Le'Veon Moss rushed for a career-high 138 yards with three touchdowns and No. 25 Texas A&M handed ninth-ranked Missouri its first loss with a 41-10 win on Saturday.

It's the fifth straight win for Texas A&M (5-1, 3-0 SEC) and first-year coach Mike Elko after a loss to Notre Dame in the season opener.

Texas A&M led 24-0 at halftime and extended the lead when Moss ran 75 yards for a touchdown on the first play of the third quarter. He burst through a hole in the line and evaded a tackle before outpacing everyone else and scoring his second goal of the day.

When he scored his third touchdown on an 18-yard run early in the fourth quarter to make it 41-7, the crowd of 97,049 erupted in chants of “Overrated, overrated.”

Brady Cook had 186 passing yards with a touchdown for Missouri (4-1, 1-1), which was playing its first road game of the season.

Conner Weigman threw for 276 yards in his return after missing three games with a throwing shoulder injury, and Amari Daniels added two rushing scores.

The tone was set early when the Tigers were stopped on fourth-and-2 on their first drive to give the Aggies the ball at their 40. Cook's pass to Theo Wease was canceled out on the play and a flag was thrown, but that was picked up and no penalty was assessed.

A 25-yard run by Daniels put Texas A&M up 1-0, and he scored on the next play to make it 7-0.

Texas A&M was leading 10-0 when Missouri receiver Luther Burden III appeared to have scored on a 75-yard reception. But it was called back when the Tigers were flagged for an illegal receiver downfield.

Another 1-yard TD run by Daniels extended the lead to 17-0 early in the second quarter.

The Aggies put together an 11-play, 88-yard drive highlighted by a 40-yard reception by Jahdae Walker and capped by a 1-yard run by Moss to extend the lead to 24-0.

Missouri's only touchdown came on a 59-yard touchdown pass from Cook to Wease that cut the lead to 34-7 with about five minutes left in the third.
