After holding a 17-10 halftime lead, Iowa State couldn’t hold off the Missouri offense as the Tigers scored 24 second half points and knocked off the Cyclones 34-24.
With the win Missouri (7-4, 3-4) is guaranteed a bowl berth. ISU (6-6, 3-5) is bowl eligible but will have to wait, up to two weeks, before finding out if it will play in a bowl game.
Missouri pulled away in the second half thanks to big plays through the air. Tiger running back Jerrell Jackson caught a 70-yard touchdown pass and wide receiver Danario Alexander had a 63-yard receiving touchdown.
The duo combined to catch 19 passes for 315 yards.
The Cyclones took a seven point lead into intermission by scoring the final 10 points of the first half. Kicker Grant Mahoney hit a 34-yard field goal in the second quarter and wide receiver Darius Darks had a 36-yard touchdown reception with 25 seconds left in the opening half.
Running back Alexander Robinson threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Jake Williams in the first quarter while offensive tackle Scott Haughton scored a touchdown on a 12-yard lateral in the third quarter.
Quarterback Austen Arnaud was 28-of-40 for 249 yards. He threw one touchdown and two interceptions. Darks had nine catches for 107 yards and one touchdown. Robinson rushed for 56 yards and had five catches for 41 yards.
Missouri gained 539 yards. Missouri quarterback Blaine Gabbert threw for 370 yards.
