The Missouri Tigers faced a surprising setback in their SEC opener against the Vanderbilt Commodores. Despite their offensive prowess in previous weeks, the Tigers struggled to find their rhythm, culminating in a controversial decision to snap the ball with eight seconds remaining in the second quarter. The outcome saw Vanderbilt take a lead they would hold for much of the game.
COLUMBIA, Mo. — For the first time of the 2024 season, the Missouri Tigers were at a deficit exiting the first half Saturday evening.
Brock Taylor stepped up to take a 56-yard field goal attempt, and just like that, Vanderbilt led 13-10. When Cook was forced to scramble or run the ball, the outcome wasn't any better. The typically strong rusher didn't have the same speed as demonstrated in previous games, slowly making decisions and getting tackled for losses.At the 8:49 mark of the third quarter, Noel exploded right past the Vanderbilt defense en route to a 64-yard gain, setting up a score at the Commodores' third-yard line.
Noel continued to make his presence known down the second half, continously working his way through Vanderbilt's defense and picking up first downs. Even when the Tigers found themsleves in another first of the season — an overtime period — he managed to keep making an impact down the stretch.
