"We didn't take advantage of some of the opportunities, missed some guys and missed a protection or two and just couldn't get back in rhythm,” Troy head coach Chip Lindsey said. “Hats off to Missouri, they have a really good football team."
Missouri meanwhile has concerns at quarterback. Kelly Bryant's last throw of the game was a 6-yard touchdown pass to Jalen Knox late in the first half. The Tigers (4-1) hope it isn't the last pass of Bryant's college career.
After he released the throw, Bryant was hit low from behind by Troy defensive tackle Travis Sailo and immediately clutched his left knee.
