Missouri holds off Arkansas 29-27 to reach bowl eligibility

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! Brady Cook threw for 242 yards and a touchdown while running for 138 yards and a score, and Missouri’s defense stuffed Arkansas when it mattered in the fourth quarter, allowing the Tigers to avenge last year’s loss to the Razorbacks. “We tried not to make it bigger than it was, but we were playing for more.” Cody Schrader added 97 yards rushing and a touchdown, and Dominic Lovett — who had to ditch his own lit cigar on the way to the postgame new conference — had six catches for 130 yards, helping the Tigers qualify for a third bowl game in Drinkwitz’s first three seasons in Columbia. “We’ve got a very disappointed locker room right now and we’d certainly like to get this taste out of our mouth in a bowl game,” Razorbacks coach Sam Pittman said, “but this is going to be hard to get rid of.” Missouri actually scored on each of its first four drives yet still trailed at halftime. Missouri regained the lead in the third quarter when Luther Burden III caught a short pass, put a move on the Razorbacks’ Quincey McAdoo, and reached the end zone from 23 yards out.
