COLUMBIA, Mo. - A tough test on the road for NM State football (4-6) was to be expected. In the early stages, the Aggies once again proved that they could play with any team in the country before Missouri (5-6, 2-5 SEC) pulled away for a 45-14 victory on Senior Day.
The Aggies battled with the SEC foe through the first quarter. Diego Pavia had the offense firing on all cylinders before a dropped pass on fourth-and-two halted the momentum. On the following drive, Missouri found the end zone on a 12-yard touchdown pass to go up seven.
