Tigers Bounce Back

While Liverpool had a bad day on the road at Stoke, the Mizzou Tigers returned To The Zou and extended their unbeaten home season to 6-0 at Faurot Field.  After back-to-back defeats at Nebraskas and Texas Tech, the Tigers returned to winning ways against the Kansas State Wildcats, winning 38-28.

A big performance from QB Blaine Gabbert and some big defense saw Missouri outgun the Wildcats.  Those big hits lead to three Kansas fumbles which saw them squander a TD and then concede 17 straight points, handing the game to Missouri.

Jacquies Smith scored on a 53-yard fumble return in the third quarter after Aldon Smith leveled Kansas QB Coffman with a sack.  In his own words...

"When I was rushing the passer all I heard was boom, like it was two trucks crashing into each other.  I just saw the gift lying on the ground and I had to pick the gift up and take it to the house."

Mizzou are back on the road to Iowa State next weekend before taking on their old rivals the Jayhawks on the 27th.
