Tigers bounce back behind big days from Lovett, Burden
The Tigers looked to bounce back from a disappointing defeat at the hands of K-State when they played another team of Wildcats on Saturday. Amidst so much negativity and question marks surrounding the program, Mizzou aimed to calm down the critics against an FCS opponent. Abilene Christian was in town for Family Weekend, and Mizzou put on a show for all of the visitors on campus.
The game started with some fireworks. After the Wildcats went 3-and-out on their opening drive, Luther Burden stepped back to field the ensuing punt. He got the corner thanks to some great blocking and scored untouched from 78-yards out, making his presence felt early on.
