Manziel threw three touchdowns in the second quarter as the Aggies jumped to a 42-0 lead in a dominant first half. Texas A&M produced more than 400 yards of offense in the first half alone, with Missouri not finding much space on offense until a late touchdown drive in the final minute of the second quarter.
