Mizzou upsets No. 15 Kansas State, 30-27, on 61-yd game-winning field goal

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:09:55 GMT

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Eli Drinkwitz and the Missouri coaching staff decided in the closing seconds of a back-and-forth affair with Kansas State on Saturday that if the Tigers crossed midfield and reached the 40-yard line, they would give Harrison Mevis a chance to kick the winning field goal.Missouri made it to the Kansas State 38 and quarterback Brady Cook spiked the ball to stop the clock.Then that same coaching staff inexplicably lost track of time on the sideline, and the delay-of-game penalty pushed the field-goal attempt back 5 yards. What would have been a 56-yarder became a 61-yard long shot from the wrong side of midfield.It didn't matter.After Cook threw incomplete trying to recoup the yardage, Mevis trotted onto the field anyway. And with the final few seconds ticking away, he boomed the SEC-record 61-yarder over the crossbar, sending the Tigers to a field-storming, come-from-behind 30-27 victory over the No. 15 Wildcats in a showdown of former Big 12 rivals.“We took the p...

AP Top 25 Takeaways: Alabama is unrecognizable, begging the question: Will the Tide stay ranked?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:09:55 GMT

Week 3 was about just getting through it for most of the highly ranked teams.No. 1 Georgia, facing its first opponent with even a prayer to challenge the two-time defending champs, needed a half to find a groove against South Carolina.No. 3 Florida State fought through early lethargy and second-half sloppiness at Boston College to hang on for dear life.No. 7 Penn State needed five takeaways to win ugly at Illinois.And then there was No. 10 Alabama, which went through two quarterbacks and needed almost three quarters just to get into the end zone at South Florida. The Tide was unrecognizable, even in victory.As unsettling as last week’s loss at home to No. 4 Texas might have felt for Alabama fans, this had to feel just as ominous.Next week has the makings of being a huge one in college football, with as many as six matchups of ranked teams.The immediate question is: Will Alabama be one of them?The road trip to Tampa, Florida, seemed weird for the Crimson Tide, but Alabama recruits a ...

I’m proud of how they fought through it. We played better throughout the game. It just felt real streaky on our part.”The Bears opened up their first double-digit lead late in the third qua...
