End zone friendly for Byers

COLUMBIA, Mo. -- A player from Fayetteville scored a touchdown in Friday's game at Faurot Field. But he plays for Missouri, not the University of Arkansas.

Missouri defensive end Akial Byers, a sophomore from Fayetteville High School, recovered a fumble in the end zone for a touchdown as Missouri beat Arkansas 38-0.

Tigers defensive tackle Jordan Elliott stripped the ball from Arkansas quarterback Ty Storey and Byers came up with the loose ball to give Missouri a 21-0 lead with 12:33 left in the second quarter.

Byers, who made his fifth consecutive start, had two tackles to raise his season total to 20.
