No. 19 Missouri 27, Iowa 24 (BALLGAME)
First Quarter
- Touchdown, Hawkeyes. Terrell Washington gets on the board after a quick three-and-out from Mizzou. That drive was eight plays for 70 yards with Iowa facing just one third down.
- TOUCHDOWN!!! Brady Cook completes a well-engineered drive with an 8-yard pitch and catch to Theo Wease Jr. The game is tied
- Short-lived tie-game, as the ensuing kickoff is returned for 100 yards by Iowa for a touchdown. Brutal special teams showing so far from the Tigers as they have had a few bad returns and now a breach in return coverage.
Second Quarter
- TOUCHDOWN!! This game is the gift that keeps on giving. Brady Cook in the corner to Marquis Johnson and the Tigers have two straight touchdown drives after an early three-and-out. Beautifully engineered drive that was helped by a late hit on Cook from Iowa. 14-14.
- Since the Cook touchdown to tie the game, there has been two scoreless drives from each team. Iowa looks to be driving right now with constant miscues in pass coverage and Sullivan just tearing up the Tigers in short yardage. Not a good sign and this defense needs to find an adjustment and fast.
- Touchdown, Hawkeyes. A drive where the Tigers made Brandon Sullivan look like the second reincarnation of Lamar Jackson, ends in a touchdown. If it wasn’t for one drop, this defense would likely be 4/4 in allowing touchdowns to Iowa. Without their main quarterback and star running back. Something needs to change, and quick.
Third Quarter
- Field Goal! Hawkeyes extend the lead to 10 after a questionable roughing the passer call, and the Tigers desperately need an answer to bring this game back to within one score. Cook looks to be struggling with the loss of Theo Wease, who is now out with a concussion.
- TOUCHDOWN!!! After Brady Cook’s fake toss touchdown is ruled off for an illegal shift by Marquis Johnson, Marquis makes up for it with a touchdown rush of his own! The Tigers are back in this game and it is 24-21. That drive lasted just 3:30.
Fourth Quarter
- The defense seems to have stepped up here, as the Tigers built a good drive ending with a field goal to tie it. 24-24
- Cook has the Tigers on a drive after a huge third and short stop from the defense, they are knocking on the door looking for their first lead of the game with just over five minutes left.
- WHAT A KICK!! Another 50-plus yarder from Craig, and that is 56 this time. The Tigers have their first lead of the game and it is 27-24 with 4:36 left in the game.
- DROPPED. What a huge drop from Gill on third and two for the Hawkeyes. 3:25 left in the game and the Hawkeyes will punt. This sets up a situation where if Cook can lead this offense to a couple first downs, he will ride off into the sunset with another 10-win season and a win.
- STUFFED. BRANDON SULLIVAN IS STUFFED ON 4TH AND 1 AND THE TIGERS ARE GOING TO WIN THIS GAME. 21-5 IN TWO YEARS.
