Damarea Crockett didn’t need much space.
The Missouri running back took the handoff from quarterback Drew Lock and zipped past Florida’s defenders down the left sideline for a 24-yard gain. A couple of plays later, he reached his destination to cap a 78-yard second-quarter scoring drive that put his team up 21-3 over the No. 13 (No. 11 CFP) Florida Gators.
The Tigers entered Saturday’s game desperate for an SEC victory. No conference wins through eight games this year — including a heartbreaking loss to Kentucky on the last play of last week’s game — was all the fuel Missouri needed to take down Florida 38-17 at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on Saturday.
