The Ole Miss football dropped to 3-4 on the season after failing to keep up with Kelly Bryant and the Missouri Tigers in Columbia.
The Rebel defense struggled to stop the Tigers throughout the game while the offense missed several opportunities to put critical points on the board. In the first half, John Rhys Plumlee broke loose on the edge and trotted for what would have been a 57-yard touchdown run had there not been an unnecessary hold by Miles Battle.
Down 12-9 at the end of the half, Matt Luke elected to go for it on fourth and goal from the one yard line.
