Despite uneven effort, Missouri finds way to beat Vanderbilt
Missouri had played nearly perfectly for three games and lost all three. The Tigers definitely weren’t perfect Saturday at Faurot Field, but they came out with a win for the first time since Week 3. Missouri lost the turnover battle 4-1, it ran for less than 2.5 yards per carry, it punted five times and didn’t score in the second half, but the Tigers beat the Vanderbilt Commodores 17-14 to pick up their first Southeastern Conference win of the season.
