COLUMBIA, Mo. - It's all Mizzou at Memorial Stadium, but the season might have taken an ugly turn on the Tigers' final possession of the first half. After Kelly Bryant unloaded a pass that went for a touchdown, Troy defensive tackle Travis Sailo tackled the quarterback low and grabbed his left leg as Bryant fell backward and landed awkwardly. As the team's medical staff visited him on the field, Bryant was able to walk to the sideline but was taken into the locker room.
His 6-yard TD to Jalen Knox put the Tigers in front 42-7. After a game-opening hiccup on the first drive, Mizzou held Troy's usually explosive offense to 40 yards on its next eight possessions.
