The #12 ranked Missouri Tigers took the defending national champions deep into the fourth quarter, putting up as hard a fight as hard as any the Red and Black have experienced all year.
In the end it was enough to give Bulldog fans some serious jitters, but wasn’t quite enough to break the Dawgs’ nation-leading win streak. Instead the Bulldogs made enough plays on offense and got a couple of big turnovers late to secure a 30-21 victory.
This game was about as close to a statistical dead heat as you’ll see. The Tigers had 22 first downs, the Dawgs 21.
