Missouri has opened the fourth quarter in better situations.
With Vanderbilt facing fourth and one on the Tigers’ one-yard line, Missouri needed a stop to prevent the Commodores from running away with the game.
On the ensuing play, VU tailback Ke’Shawn Vaughn took the handoff and was met by the tandem of linebacker Terez Hall and defensive end Akial Byers, who brought Vaughn down for no gain.
Missouri took over on downs from its own goal line and proceeded to march 99 yards and give the Tigers the deciding score in a 33-28 victory.
While Byers got the official recognition for the stop by the scorekeeper, MU coach Barry Odom said after the game that this was up for dispute.
