COLUMBIA, Mo. — After surrendering the lead in the most excruciating way possible, Missouri drove the field in the final 43 seconds and beat Arkansas 50-48 on Saturday when Harrison Mevis made a 32-yard field goal as time expired.
The Tigers (5-3) erased a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit to take the lead, only to give it up in the final minute. Arkansas quarterback K.J. Jefferson threw a touchdown pass to Mike Woods to cut Missouri's lead to 48-47, and coach Sam Pittman elected to go for a 2-point conversion. Jefferson's pass bounced off the chest of linebacker Jamal Brooks and landed in Woods' arms.
