COLUMBIA, MO — The trip to Missouri was never going to be pretty. With the No. 24-ranked Tigers missing starting quarterback Brady Cook and Oklahoma playing without running back Jovantae Barnes, the contest between the two banged up teams had the makings of a low scoring affair.

Mizzou couldn’t capitalize on three OU fumbles recovered by Missouri to create enough of a point cushion to keep Oklahoma at bay, but Pyne did enough down the stretch — including some beautiful deep balls — to keep Mizzou in the game.
