Overview
- Missouri dominated in Columbia, piling up 560 total yards as Austin Simmons threw for 340 yards and two touchdowns and Jamal Roberts ran for 211 yards and three scores.
- The Tigers' defense shut down Florida's run game, holding Jadan Baugh to 13 yards on 12 carries and limiting the Gators to just 42 rushing yards.
- The result on Saturday, Oct. 3, snapped Missouri’s nine-game losing streak versus ranked opponents and delivered coach Eli Drinkwitz his first regular-season win over a top-10 team in 11 tries.
- Florida fell to 4-1 and will likely drop in the polls as the loss exposed run-blocking and secondary breakdowns that Jon Sumrall’s staff must fix before games with South Carolina, Texas and Georgia.
- Missouri reaches 4-1 and gains momentum as it heads into an SEC stretch that now includes a home game against Texas A&M next week, a test of whether this blowout represents a durable rise or a one-week peak.
