Missouri player notes for Nov 23rd, 2018


Drew Lock – Noteworthy
In his final home game, Missouri quarterback Drew Lock rushed for two touchdowns and threw for two more as the Tigers beat Arkansas 38-0 on a damp and dreary Friday. Lock completed 16 of 25 passes for 221 yards, surpassing the 3,000-yard mark for the third straight season. “He’s done a heck of a job of being Drew, being what we need him to be and playing really well at a high level,” Missouri coach Barry Odom said. “He left his mark.” Emanuel Hall caught both touchdown passes and finished with six receptions for 153 yards. Larry Rountree rushed 29 times for 119 yards to exceed 1,000 yards for the season.

The Tigers (8-4, 4-4 Southeastern Conference) took advantage of two turnovers to take control early in the second quarter. Arkansas quarterback Ty Storey threw a pass into the chest of linebacker Terez Hall, whose interception set up Lock for his second rushing touchdown of the game. On the next possession, Missouri defensive tackle Jordan Elliott blindsided Storey, and defensive end Akial Byers – a native of Fayetteville, Arkansas – pounced on the fumble in the end zone as the Tigers took a 21-0 lead. – AP College Football
