No. 24 Mississippi State rallies to hand No. 19 Missouri first loss

No. 24 Mississippi State rallied in the fourth quarter to beat No. 19 Missouri 31-24, handing the Tigers their first loss of the season and their first SEC defeat. Missouri fell behind 14-0, then used Austin Simmons’ touchdown passes—including two to Cayden Lee—to take a 24-17 lead entering the final quarter. The Bulldogs tied the score on a Fluff Bothwell touchdown run, then took the lead on Kamario Taylor’s 24-yard touchdown pass to Sanfrisco Magee after a long completion to Anthony Evans. Missouri had late chances to tie, but a fourth-down pass was batted down and its final attempt to the end zone was broken up.
