COLUMBIA, Mo. — Big Al’s guys had a big game and helped Missouri beat his alma mater.
The Tigers had seven sacks — including five by the defensive line Al Davis coaches — in beating the University of Arkansas 29-27 on Friday at Faurot Field.
Davis, who got the nickname “Big Al” when he played defensive tackle for Arkansas from 2009-12, was promoted from defensive analyst to defensive line coach midway through last season when Tigers Coach Eli Drinkwitz fired Jethro Franklin.
The seven sacks were the most allowed by Arkansas this season and the most by Missouri.
