Mizzou won a football game in which it threw for just 25 yards.
Quarterback Beau Pribula completed 4 passes all game. He only threw 7 times. Instead, the Tigers leaned on their punishing ground game to run all over Arkansas and win their eighth game of the season. A punt return for a touchdown from Kevin Coleman Jr. midway through the fourth clinched a 31-17 win.
The victory was Missouri’s fourth straight in the border series, extending its series lead and dropping Bobby Petrino to 0-7 in his final game as interim coach.
Mizzou tailback Ahmad Hardy ran for 157 yards and a touchdown to wrap up the SEC’s regular-season rushing title. Hardy moved up to fourth on Mizzou’s all-time single-season list, passing Brad Smith. He sits 67 yards away from tying Cody Schrader’s single-season school record.
Hardy’s backfield running mate, Jamal Roberts, also cleared the century mark. He ran for 100 yards on 11 carries and scored a touchdown of his own. Pribula also had 78 yards and a score on the ground.
Mizzou dominated the line of scrimmage, holding Arkansas to 4.5 yards per play and just 61 rushing yards. The Tigers generated 8 tackles for loss and 4 sacks.
The win officially ensures Mizzou will win 8 games in 3 consecutive seasons for the first time since joining the SEC back in 2012. With a victory in the Bowl game, Mizzou will make it 3 straight seasons with 9 wins for the first time in program history.
Arkansas ends the year 2-10 overall and 0-8 in SEC play for the third time in the last 8 years.
