On Saturday afternoon, on Senior Day at Faurot Field, the Missouri Tigers (7-4,3-4) defeated the Iowa State Cyclones (6-6, 3-5) by the score of 34-24. MU trailed at the half 17-10, after Iowa State covered a Jerrell Jackson fumble, and quickly drove down for a late second-quarter TD. Jackson redeemed himself however, with a career day, with 8 receptions for 142 yards and a 70-yard TD catch and run, stepping up in the absence of the injured Jared Perry. Missouri netted 539 yards of total offense against the Cyclones, and won the turnover battle 2-1.
Missouri Head Coach Gary Pinkel talked about his team's win. "It was a heck-of-a-game. Iowa State's a good football team............... We finished................. I thought we did a lot of good things in that second half.................. It was a really good fourth-quarter victory. You grow when you know you can win a game like that.. That'll help us not only this year, but next year, too.""
Danario Alexander continued his assault on All-American status and placed himself in the Missouri record book. Alexander finished the day with 11 receptions for 173 yards and 1 TD , breaking the school record for single-season receiving yardage set by Jeremy Maclin last season. That TD was on a short pass on the outside that Alexander turned into a 63-yard score, outrunning Iowa State defenders who appeared to have the angle on him, but instead ended up chasing him from behind. Alexander also moved ahead of JMac into third place on Missouri's career receiving yardage list (2408). Justin Gage is the school's career leader
in receiving yards at 2704.
Blaine Gabbert appears fully recovered from his previous ankle injury, as evidenced by his improved mobility. He completed 23 of 32 pass attempts (72 %) for 337 yards and 2 TDs (10.5 yds./attempt). He also rushed for 51 yards on 12 carries, picking up first downs on designed runs, and on scrambles.
Derrick Washington suffered a concussion in the second quarter, and sat out the rest of the game, but De'Vion Moore and Kendial Lawrence filled in superbly, as Missouri netted 202 yards and 2 TDs on the ground.
The Tigers defense struggled against the pass in the first half, but bounced back in the second half, holding Iowa State to only 7 second-half points.
Sean Weatherspoon described the win. "It was a great fourth-quarter win! Those guys (Iowa State) came in here and they fought and they kept fighting. They scored, and we answered................ Two six win teams going out there fighting. We put ourselves in position to make sure that we're playing in the post-season."
