Mizzou Tigers survived a wild fourth quarter during a 30-23 win over Oklahoma at Memorial Stadium on Saturday. Missouri led 16-9 with under four minutes left in regulation before Oklahoma tied the game with a score. The Sooners then recovered a Tigers fumble and returned it for a touchdown to give Oklahoma the lead.
However, Drew Pyne hit Theo Wease for a ten-yard score with a minute left in the game, and the Tigers returned an Oklahoma fumble for a touchdown on the ensuing drive to win the game. Pyne passed for 143 yards and three touchdowns in the victory.
