Mizzou scored on passes of 50, 58 and 75 yards. Drew Lock also completed a 48-yard pass before sneaking in a Missouri score. The Tigers tied the game on a three-play 75 yard drive to start the fourth quarter to put Kentucky against the ropes.
Four of seven on second half third down conversions, Missouri had a chance to take the lead with 6:15 to play but was forced to settle for a 45-yard field goal. Lonnie Johnson blocked it to put UK in the driver’s seat.
Even with an unbelievable play from Lynn Bowden, Kentucky was stopped on third and goal from the four and (surprisingly) opted to settle for a chip shot field goal.
