Texas would tie the game on the following drive, when Arch Manning threw a 24-yard touchdown pass to Derrek Cooper. The Tigers would have opportunities to capitalize on Longhorn errors, but could only get a field goal after causing a Texas fumble on their next drive, and missed a field goal after Texas muffed the kickoff on what would have been their first drive of the second half.Texas continued to match Mizzou on the scoreboard, even after the Tigers outwitted the Longhorn defense when Naeshaun Montgomery caught a Simmons pass, then turned it into a 72-yard dash to the end zone to give Mizzou a 20-13 lead. The Tigers, however, would not recover after an apparent incomplete pass late in the third by Manning was ruled on the field as a fumble that advanced 14 yards, a call backed by the replay booth. Three plays later, Manning would throw his second touchdown of the afternoon to tie the game up.The Tigers would have to punt on their next three drives, while Texas took the lead on a 23-yard pass from Manning to Raleek Brown with five minutes remaining. Mizzou would show some life late, only for a pass completion to Cayden Lee to turn into a fumble recovered at midfield by Texas and advanced to within the ten. The Longhorns would put the game away three plays later with their final score.Arch Manning went 28-of-38 for 297 yards and three touchdown passes, while for Mizzou, Austin Simmons was 23-for-43 with 252 yards. Jamal Roberts led the rushing effort with 19 carries for 66 yards, while Lee had nine catches for 79 yards. Blake Craig was two-for-four on field goals.The Tigers fall to 6-3 overall and 3-3 in the SEC.
