On This Day in Mizzou History:
October 30, 1976: Coming off a 34-24 victory at No. 3 Nebraska, which had Mizzou up to No. 10 in the polls, the Tigers stumbled during the second of four-straight games against ranked opponents, 20-19 at No. 16 Oklahoma State.
October 30, 2022: Thanks to a key fourth-down stop with just over a minute remaining, Missouri held on for a nerve-wracking 17-14 victory against Vanderbilt.
Quote of the Day
“We needed one play and there was a lot of plays going against us in the second half, as many as I've been part of, seeing the momentum switch like that. We said, ‘No. We’re going to make the play on fourth-and-inches.'” — Eli Drinkwitz after Missouri held on to beat Vanderbilt in 2022.
