It took Kam Scott all of one catch to show he belonged.
In Missouri’s season-opening win against Tennessee-Martin, Scott leaped into the air and caught a pass over a defender, shook a tackle and coasted into the end zone for a 70-yard score.
On Saturday during Missouri’s upset over Florida, he burned a Gators secondary that was considered one of the nation’s best and hauled in a 41-yard touchdown catch to extend the Tigers’ lead to 28-10 early in the third quarter.
The touchdown marked the beginning of the end for the Gators and was something Missouri hadn’t been able to do in its three previous close games this season — put the nail in the coffin.
