Missouri State prepares for upcoming road game at Texas A&M

Missouri State opens its second season in the FBS with a road contest against No. 8 Texas A&M on Saturday, Sept. 5. First-year head coach Casey Woods stated he is preparing his team to handle the environment at Kyle Field by emphasizing a focus on fundamentals. Woods drew a comparison to the film Hoosiers, reminding players that the field dimensions and rules remain constant despite the size of the opponent's venue. The Bears have prioritized tackling improvements during training camp to manage a Texas A&M roster featuring quarterback Marcel Reed and running backs Rueben Owens and Jamarion Morrow. The team plans to visit the stadium on Friday to acclimate to the environment before the game. Following the non-conference matchup, Woods intends to shift the team's focus toward Conference USA play.
