Isaiah Spiller goes off

As bad as Missouri is at defending the pass, the Tigers are even worse when it comes to defending the running game and that’s bad news with Texas A&M football coming to town.

The Aggies are only averaging 155 yards per game on the ground, but they are averaging over five yards per attempt and a low number of rushing attempts is part of the reason for that.

Against Missouri, a team that allows a whopping 6.1 yards per carry (288 yards total), Isaiah Spiller and the other backs need plenty of touches.

Spiller, of course, can do damage as both a runner and receiver and is tied for third with fellow back Devon Achane with 17 receptions.

Achane is averaging more than six yards per attempt and will get plenty of runs too. The Aggies should hit their season-high and Spiller is going past the century mark for the third time this season, plus with his ability as a receiver, he might make a run at 200 total yards in what should be another explosive performance by the A&M offense.
