The Tigers’ offense struck fast as freshman running back Damarea Crockett ran to the end zone on Missouri’s first offensive possession to give the Tigers a 6-0 lead to start the game. Crockett would finish the night with two records never before set by a freshman. With 225 yards rushing for the game, Crockett brought his yard total for the season to a record of 1,062 yards with one game still left to play against Arkansas on Black Friday.
