- With Mizzou's 34-27 victory at Texas A&M, the Tigers have won nine consecutive road games. Mizzou went 5-0 on the road in 2013 and won its first three away contests of 2014 (at Toledo, 49-24; at No. 13 South Carolina, 21-20; at Florida, 42-13).
- Tonight's attendance of 104,756 is the largest to ever see the Tigers play. The previous record of 104,578 came at Michigan in 1975.
- Tonight's game was the last of five consecutive matchups between the teams (four in College Station), and will mark the last meeting between the teams until 2021 in Columbia.
- Mizzou finished that stretch 4-1; the Tigers are not scheduled to return to College Station until after the current scheduling rotation completes its run in 2025.
- The win improves the Tigers' all-time series vs. A&M to 7-8.
