FINAL: Missouri 23, No. 25 South Carolina
Dreyden Nordwood intercepted a Rattler pass, and that'll do it.
Missouri wins its fourth-straight game in the Mayor's Cup rivalry and its second-straight SEC win. Stick with us for post-game analysis!
Mevis doinks in a third field goal
After a short punt, Missouri went deeper into South Carolina territory. The Tigers stalled, but had another solid moment from Mevis.
In reality, it should be 26-10. Mevis should have made the 21-yard field goal. But, up 13 in the fourth still allows Missouri some room for error if needed.

End of the third: Mizzou 20, No. 25 South Carolina 10
Mevis: The redemption arc, Part II
After missing a 21-yard field goal earlier in the third, Mevis totally redeems himself, again.
He nailed a 50-yard field goal to put Missouri up two scores. It's 20-10 with under two minutes left in the third quarter. Lovett is up to 150 receiving yards after a long reception into USC territory.
South Carolina makes it a one-score game
After a sustained drive into MU territory, South Carolina drilled a 34-yard field goal. It's 17-10, Tigers.

Missouri had three third downs to get off the field on that drive, but couldn't make the stop to force a punt. Instead, the Gamecocks drop did the job.
HALFTIME: Mizzou 17, South Carolina 7
Dominic Lovett: seven receptions, 109 yards.
Rattler gets South Carolina on the board
South Carolina has cut into the Tigers' lead right before halftime.
Spencer Rattler's second rushing touchdown of the year caps a 12-play drive that shrinks MU's lead to 17-7 with 47 seconds left.
Can Mizzou add to its lead with a patented minute-drill drive?
Tigers forge further ahead
Missouri has full control. Harrison Mevis’ 19-yard field goal has MU up three scores now.
Tigers are up 14-0. Woah.
Schrader earned the “lion’s share” of the carries and is making the most of it. His one-yard touchdown put Missouri up two scores.
Cook and Lovett set the score up with a 57-yard bomb.
Who are these Tigers?
End of the first: Mizzou 7, South Carolina 0
Mizzou's deep drive pays off
After starting at its own four, Missouri drove deep into SC territory with productive movement. The Tigers shrugged off a false state, something that has sunk MU consistently, and forged ahead with a Brady Cook touchdown.
Cook's scamper puts MU up 7-0 early, as the Tigers have seemingly shaken off the first quarter woes.
Punts away to start today
After Missouri went three and out to start the game, the Tigers' defense stood strong and forced a punt after South Carolina got to around midfield.
That forced a Gamecocks punt after a MU timeout.
Kickoff: Mizzou starts
The Tigers get the ball first, as South Carolina deferred to the second half.
Taj Butts and Cody Schrader are in the backfield to start this game.

Mizzou injury report
For the first time in a while, Luther Burden is not on the Tigers' injury report. However, two new names are listed as out.
Long snapper Daniel Hawthorne and defensive lineman Josh Landry are listed as out against South Carolina. Landry has a list of players who can back him up, specifically players like freshman Marquis Gracial who is expected to see time this week with Landry out. The long snapper position is something to watch.
Officially, Hawthorne, Landry, Chance Luper and Hyrin White are all out Saturday. For the first time this season, receiver Demariyon Houston is listed as something other than out.
