Texas A&M Player Held Back After Shoving College Football Official

One of the more intriguing college football matchups of Week 6 saw the No. 9 Missouri Tigers hit the road to College Station to battle the No. 25 Texas A&M Aggies.

Despite the lower ranking, the Aggies went into the game as 2.5-point favorites (ESPN Bet), but they looked much better than that through the first 30 minutes of action, taking a 24-0 lead at halftime.

During the first half, things got pretty heated between the A&M offense and the Missouri defense. Aggies wide receiver Moose Muhammad III, the son of former NFL wideout Muhsin Muhammad, got in the middle of a minor scrum between the two teams.

After an official came over to try and stop Muhammad from escalating the incident any further, the senior from Charlotte, North Carolina turned around and shoved the official off of him.

It appeared that Muhammad's intentions were not meant for the official but for another Missouri player. However, immediately after the shove, offensive lineman Reuben Fatheree II ran over to hold his teammate back.

Surprisingly, no flag was thrown following the incident. The official seemed to understand that Muhammad's actions were an accident.

Through five games, the Aggies have secured a 4-1 overall record and a 2-0 SEC record, with their lone loss coming in Week 1 against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

In 2023, Texas A&M got off to the same start through five games but finished the season losing five of its last eight contests.

A win over a top-10 Missouri team would certainly help boost their confidence as they continue to play in the toughest conference in the nation.
