The score is now 23-3 Missouri.
Gabbert to Kemp for another score
After T.J. Moe put the Tigers inside the red zone on a big run after catch, Gabbert found Kemp for their second touchdown connection of the day. Kemp now has nine catches for 72 yards and two touchdowns.
Missouri now leads 23-0 midway through the third quarter.
Madison dominating for Tiger defensive line
Brad Madison spun inside and made another big third down sack on Jerrod Johnson to end the Aggie drive. That makes three sacks for the sophomore on the day.
Score remains 16-0 Tigers as the third quarter wears on.
Halftime update
It was all Tigers in the first half at Kyle Field, as both the Missouri offense and defense dominated.
Gabbert put together three scoring drives in the half, each finished by a Wes Kemp touchdown pass, a Kendial Lawrence plunge and a Grant Ressel field goal respectively.
On the other side, Jerrod Johnson and the Aggie offense are struggling. Johnson missed multiple targets and ended up giving the Texas A&M punt team a lot of work.
The Tiger defense has now racked up six straight shut out quarters over the last two games. They hold the Aggies scoreless on their home turf through two quarters.
Missouri leads 16-0 at the half.
Missouri strikes again before halftime
Gabbert strung together a scoring drive in under two minutes, employing a new receiver every play to pick apart the Aggie defense. Even backup junior wideout Brandon Gerau got involved with a jumping grab over the middle to put the Tigers in the red zone.
Gabbert and Kemp nearly connected for another score but the touchdown call on the field was overturned as Kemp came up one yard short. The Aggie defense then held the Tigers at the goal line and forced a short field goal.
Tigers now lead 16-0 at halftime.
Brad Madison with huge sack on third down
Sophomore defensive end Brad Madison spun inside on an Aggie tackle and made a big sack on Texas A&M quarterback Jerrod Johnson on third down. The loss forced them to punt and get the Tiger offense out.
Madison has earned a few starts in Aldon Smith's absence and has really taken advantage.
Tigers extend their lead
Gabbert and company reeled off another big drive midway through the second quarter. Sophomore Kendial Lawrence caps the drive with a three-yard touchdown plunge. The run was set up by a huge pass to Kemp to put the Tigers in the red zone.
Tigers now lead 13-0 with seven minutes left in the half.
