Mizzou Falls 34-30 to No. 21 South Carolina in Back and Fourth Battle In usual Missouri football fashion, the Tigers took the No. 21 South Carolina Gamecocks down to the wire. Both teams took shots at each other and it was a battl

My story on #Mizzou's narrow defeat against South Carolina:

My goodness, you just can not make this stuff up. Cook finds Burden for a massive touchdown and the Tigers regain the lead.

#Mizzou leads 30-27.

#Mizzou faces its most important play after the two-minute timeout. The Tigers have a third and three on the opposing 41-yard line, trailing 27-22.

Nate Noel. Touchdown.

#Mizzou has a 22-21 lead with 9:12 to play.

#Mizzou can not catch any breaks right now. They stop the Gamecocks on fourth down but it doesn't matter as the prior play was under review.

Penalties haven't been a significant issue since the beginning of the season for #Mizzou. They absolutely have been tonight, giving the Gamecocks some yard and a first down instead of third and long.

12-yard completion for Kewan Lacy. Eli Drinkwitz said earlier that he wanted to get the talented freshman more involved. He's getting his wish now.

#Mizzou trails 21-6 at halftime to South Carolina.

That was one ugly half of football from the Tigers on both sides of the ball.

This is the most vulnerable the #Mizzou defense has looked all season. Have not seen issues like this since Alabama and it looked like those big-play issues had been erased. Apparently not.

Sellers found Joshua Simon wide-open for the second touchdown of the game. #Mizzou now trails 14-6 in the late stages of the first half.

Not an ideal empty drive from #Mizzou. Really needed to take advantage of that field position and the Gamecocks have the opportunity to extend its lead with under five to play in the half.

Big momentum after that interception. Sellers was searching for Oscar Adaway III but there were too many #Mizzou defenders and Dreyden Norwood walked away with it.

Tiger ball on the 29-yard line.

South Carolina has attempted three fourth-down conversions. #Mizzou finally got a stop on the third try and gets the ball back.

Brady Cook looks pretty comfortable right now for #Mizzou. Only one questionable throw that was just lacking a little power.

The final SEC injury report just a few minutes before kick-off.

#Mizzou quarterback Brady Cook is in pads and warming up but is still considered a game-time decision.
