Missouri football left the Vanderbilt matchup the same way it entered: As an error-prone football team. Here’s where that leaves MU moving forward.

MU answered Vanderbilt’s touchdown with one of its own — the 20-yard catch-and-run by Burden — but the Tigers’ defense, on the ropes for a second straight drive, needed a big play. On third-and-3 on Missouri’s 4-yard line, Pavia kept the ball and found no place to go but backward.

Missouri football survived a scare from Vanderbilt on Saturday in Columbia, defeating the Commodores 30-27 in double overtime to head into the idle week undefeated. Not for the lack of trying, mind you.
