No. 6 Missouri 28, No. 21 Texas A&M 21: Henry Josey scored the game-winning touchdown on a 57-yard run with 3:34 to play, and the Tigers punched their ticket to the SEC championship game with a win over the visiting Aggies.
Josey rushed for 96 yards and the touchdown on 13 carries for Missouri (11-1, 7-1), which will face Auburn in the SEC title game on Dec. 7. James Franklin threw for 233 yards and two touchdowns on 18-for-28 passing, while also rushing for 80 yards.
Johnny Manziel threw for only 195 yards for Texas A&M (8-4, 4-4) and rushed for 21. Brandon Williams led the Aggies in rushing with 57 yards on six carries.
The embattled Texas A&M defense held Missouri to just 192 yards in the first half, and took a 14-7 lead to the locker room behind a 29-yard touchdown run by Tra Carson and a 32-yard strike from Manziel to Derel Walker. The Tigers answered back after the break, scoring touchdowns on consecutive third-quarter drives to take a 21-14 lead.
Manziel led a nine-play, 98-yard touchdown drive to even the game at 21 with 10:43 to go. Then Josey broke the game-winning run on a third-and-one, zipping through the middle of the Aggies' defense and breaking away for the score.
