At the halfway point of the second quarter, Missouri’s offense was struggling.
The Tigers had mustered just six first downs, as they could not capitalize on multiple drives that started in Wyoming territory. When they did, they couldn’t convert — kicker Tucker McCann was just 1-3 on field goal attempts while Missouri held a slim 3-0 over the Cowboys.
The ball was pinned inside the Tigers’ 10 with just over eight minutes to go, forcing Drew Lock to take the snap in the end zone. Lock took a snap from shotgun, looked wide left, saw receiver Emanuel Hall running down the side line and tossed a 38-yard dime for a Missouri first down.
