The Central Michigan Chippewas (0-1) were driving late in the game, down 10, looking to score a touchdown for pride with 20 seconds left. Jake Sirmon (23—of-46, 295 yards, one touchdown, two interceptions) dropped back to pass, scrambled, and had nowhere to go, with Mizzou’s Mekhi Wingo dragging him down for a loss of seven yards, ending the game.
It was the eighth sack allowed by the normally reliable offensive line, and a play which was indicative of the flow of the second half, as Missouri (1-0) would weather the early CMU storm to take home a 34-24 victory.
