  • A Brady Cook interception sets Auburn up at the Mizzou 22-yard line.
  • Auburn punches in another rushing touchdown, as Ashford and Tank Bigsby continue to have success on the ground.
  • Drinkwitz is showing early that he is willing to take shots down the field, but Cook has yet to complete one.

Second Quarter Notes

  • Isaiah McGuire with a strip sack on 3rd down, Auburn does recover Great pass rush from the entire line on that play.
  • Mizzou driving again behind the 3-pronged rushing attack of Cook, Peat, and Schrader.
  • Missouri closes the half with an impressive drive to tie things up, showing a lot of grit to fight back in this game.

Third Quarter Notes

  • After multiple 3-and-outs from both sides, Ashford finally completes a deep ball to get Auburn in scoring position.
  • Mizzou gets a massive fourth down stop at their own 30-yard line, Auburn questionably went for it instead of kicking a field goal.
