Missouri's defense kept Dak Prescott and the Mississippi St. offense under wraps for as long as they could, and for a moment it looked like the offense would finally reward them for their efforts.
Prescott connected with Fred Ross for a 36-yard touchdown on MSU's first series to make ti 7-0. After that, the defense dug in their heels and the offense showed some signs of life. The Tigers connected on two field goals from 31 and 35 yards out to pull within one before De'Runnya Wilson snagged a 28-yard TD pass, putting the Bulldogs up 14-6.
