Following an early season loss to Kentucky, it was clear that for Mizzou to keep the positive momentum under Drinkwitz going, this was a pivotal game.
The Tigers came out playing like it at the start. The opening drive saw Mizzou go for it on fourth and one and convert off a tipped pass. That fortunate deflection was followed by a touchdown pass from Connor Bazelak to Barrett Banister two plays later.
The defense then responded in suit, with Shawn Robinson securing his second career interception on the first offensive play from Boston College.
Then, the special teams joined in on the fun, pinning Boston College at the 2-yard line thanks to another great punt from Grant McKinnis, who has started out the season showing why he was placed on the Ray Guy Award Watchlist.
