Tigers obliterate the Bears
The Missouri Tigers walked into Waco ready for war. And for one quarter they got it, as the Baylor Bears held strong and only allowed Missouri a 53 yard FG with 23 seconds left in the first quarter. As soon as the first was over the Bears wilted, and a 10 yard option to Wide Reciever Wes Kemp put Missouri up 10-0.
The Tigers nailed a 28 yard field goal to take a 13-0 lead into the half, and while score wise it was still anyone's game anyone that was watching knew Missouri was winning this game. The Bears defense barely made stops, and it was only long time consuming drives by the Tigers that kept it from being 27-0 at the half.
The Missouri Tigers defense deserves a lot of the credit, as Jacquies Smith tied the NCAA record with 6 sacks on the day. The Bears managed only 6 first downs on the day.
