Towles throws 2 TDs as Kentucky upsets No. 25 Missouri 21-13

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) Patrick Towles threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score to lead Kentucky past No. 25 Missouri 21-13 on Saturday night, ending the Wildcats' 18-game losing streak against ranked teams.

Towles' arm and feet were critical in the Wildcats' first upset of a ranked team since beating No. 18 South Carolina 31-28 in Lexington five years ago. The junior threw TD passes of 24 yards to tight end C.J. Conrad in the third quarter and the 5-yard clincher to Dorian Baker with 6:20 remaining, and fuel a small celebration on the field with some of the 58,008.
