COLUMBIA, Mo. • Missouri vanquished its touchdown drought Thursday, but its losing streak will live to see another week. A 31-13 defeat to No. 24 Mississippi State extended the Tigers’ losing skid to four and put the program’s postseason hopes on life support.
Now riding their longest losing streak since 2004, the Tigers fell to 4-5 and 1-5 in Southeastern Conference play. Gary Pinkel’s team must win two of its final three games to salvage a .500 record in the regular season and secure bowl eligibility. The three-game stretch begins Nov. 14 against Brigham Young in Kansas City.
