GAINESVILLE, Fla.— After three scoreless possessions, Missouri’s offense watched its defense score the first touchdown of the night at Florida.
With linebacker Nick Bolton supplying pressure up the middle, cornerback Jarvis Ware picked off Kyle Trask’s wobbly third-down pass and returned it 59 yards to the end zone, giving the Tigers a 7-6 lead. It was MU’s first interception of the season. Coming into tonight’s game, Fresno State and Maryland were the only other FBS team that have played multiple games but hadn’t picked off a pass.
The pick-six also brought out Mizzou’s new turnover gimmick for 2020: a boxing robe.
