COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri almost got got, and in that, it got wanted it wanted.
Trailing No. 24 Boston College 14-6 in the second quarter of Saturday’s game, the No. 6 Tigers were in risky territory.
After going two games without allowing a point, Mizzou’s defense had given up a couple of scores to the Eagles and dynamic quarterback Thomas Castellanos. A key penalty fueled one BC scoring drive while coverage more busted than too-tight skinny jeans gifted the visitors another touchdown.
MU’s offense, meanwhile, had started in pedestrian fashion, settling for a pair of field goals while struggling to consistently complete the passes it craved.
