Once again the Missouri Tigers looked like a mid-level Mid-American Conference team, this time while outlasting North Texas 48-35 Saturday afternoon.
The Tigers let a second-tier Conference USA team roll into Boone County and outgain them 493-474 in their Homecoming game. Missouri had control of the contest throughout, true, but they allowed the Mean Green to rally with long drive after long drive in the second half.
Meanwhile, elsewhere in the SEC . . .
- Jimbo Fisher delivered his breakthrough victory at Texas A&M with a stunning 41-38 upset of No. 1 Alabama, snapping the Crimson Tide’s 100-game winning streak over unranked teams.
