Mizzou jumped out to a 10-0 lead in the first quarter. The first scoring drive, a touchdown, came courtesy of a long, 36-yard run down the sideline from running back Cody Schrader. He finished off that drive in the end zone to tally his 13th touchdown of the season.
The Tiger defense stood tall from the first snap, forcing a three and out, as defensive back Sidney Williams registered his second sack of the season.
Linebacker Triston Newson led the charge, defensively, however. He finished with a career high 15 tackles, two of which were for a loss.

Things got chippy between the Battle Line rivals in the second quarter, as a sideline-clearing brawl ensued. MU offensive lineman Armand Membou got ejected from the game, along with two Arkansas defensive players. The Tigers responded right away, though, with a Brady Cook touchdown run to make it a 17-0 game.
Running back Cody Schrader impressed, yet again, as he closed in on 200 yards before the first half even wrapped up. He ended the game with a career high 217 yards along with one touchdown.

Columbia native and Rock Bridge alum Nathaniel Peat finished out the game at running back and ran in his third touchdown of the season, as well.
The Tigers came out locker room firing in the second half. True freshman tight end Brett Norfleet scored two, wide open touchdowns in six seconds to put the Tigers up 34-0. The first TD came courtesy of a 16-yard pass from Cook, coming out of the locker room. Immediately after that, on the ensuing kickoff, Arkansas fumbled the ball which led to a Mizzou recover and Norfleet 11-yard touchdown.
Cook completed 60 percent of his passes for 112 yards and a couple touchdowns.
The cherry on top of the second half was a big man touchdown near the end of the third quarter. Defensive lineman Jayden Jernigan scooped and scored a Razorback fumble to get up 41-0.
Up next - Mizzou will await its bowl fate, as the Tigers are set to play in a New Year's Six bowl game.
