No. 6 Missouri came back from a 14-3 first-half deficit to move to 3-0 with a 27-21 win over Boston College.

The Tigers scored 14 points on three possessions in the final five minutes of the second quarter to take a 17-14 halftime lead. Mizzou then needed to hang on late in the fourth quarter after Boston College pulled within six points on a 38-yard TD pass from Thomas Castellanos to Kamari Morales with 3:45 to go.

Missouri didn’t give Boston College the chance to get the ball back. Brady Cook converted a short third down on a read option with less than two minutes to go to seal the game.

Cook finished the game 21-of-30 passing for 264 yards and a TD. He also rushed for a TD in the third quarter that pushed Missouri’s lead to 24-14. RB Nate Noel had 22 carries for 121 yards and WR Luther Burden III had six catches for 117 yards.
