COLUMBIA, Mo. — The mess went down to the wire, but Missouri won.
The No. 7 Tigers went to two overtimes against Vanderbilt, at risk of an upset that would have jeopardized their College Football Playoff hopes — but they escaped.
Brady Cook found Luther Burden III in the end zone on MU’s first offensive play of overtime before Vanderbilt missed a field goal in the second overtime to give Mizzou a 30-27 victory and preserve an undefeated record.
The Commodores opened the extra period with a touchdown. MU responded with an immediate touchdown of its own.
