What started out as a game in which Missouri looked comfortably ahead became anything but. Up 14-0 in the 2nd quarter, a series of events (pick 6 and a 3 and out, followed by a TD allowed by the defense) finds the Tigers and Jayhawks tied at halftime.
Missouri starts the 2nd half with a 1 play touchdown. The defense then reasserts its dominance. Both teams struggled throughout the game with turnovers (3 each). Still a competitive game in the final 5 minutes at 24-17, the Tigers finally put it away with two touchdowns and an interception by the defense.
Great job by the defense. Holding a Power 4 team to less than 200 yards in total offense is no easy task. The offense still needs to avoid those interceptions. It could be costly against better competition.
Players of the Game: Damon Wilson II (8 TK, 5 TFL, 2.5 SK) & Triston Newson (3 TK, 2 INT)
