The Missouri Tigers went to Starkville to close out the 2020 regular season on Saturday, and they looked outclassed for nearly the entirety of this game.
It looked promising to start when the Tigers marched down the field for a 7-0 lead to start. However, after that, it was all Bulldogs thanks to plenty of self-inflicted wounds by the Tigers.
Despite the Mizzou defense forcing a punt on their first drive, the Tiger special team’s early-season demons came back to haunt them. Cade Musser was the culprit this time as he muffed the Bulldogs punt that was eventually recovered in the endzone for a Mississippi State TD and a tie game.
