LEXINGTON, Ky. • As the injuries piled up for Missouri, a team that’s played with minimal margin for error to start the season cut that margin too thin Saturday at Kentucky.
With four starters lost for the game — two on each side of the ball — No. 25 Mizzou snapped its 11-game road winning streak in a 21-13 loss to Kentucky, a team the Tigers had swept their first three years in the Southeastern Conference.
But not this time. Winning ugly had become Missouri’s specialty of late, but this one was plain ugly. Patrick Towles’ 24-yard touchdown pass in the final minutes of the third quarter put Kentucky ahead for the first time and for good at Commonwealth Stadium.
