FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – University of Missouri's Tyler Badie ran a career-high 41 times for 219 yards and a touchdown in the Tigers' 34-17 loss at No. 25 Arkansas (8-4, 4-4 SEC) on Saturday.
The Razorbacks used a handful of big plays, a strong second half and a stifling defense of Mizzou's (6-6, 3-5) passing game. It was Arkansas' first victory over Missouri since 2015. The Tigers lead the all-time series 9-4.
On Missouri's final drive, Badie rushed nine times for 51 yards including a five-yard touchdown that produced the final score. He ran for a new single-season school record with 1,604 yards. The Doak Walker Award finalist now ranks seventh in Mizzou football history with 2,740 career rushing yards.
Arkansas led 10-6 at halftime thanks to a 49-yard run by quarterback K.J. Jefferson that led to a 36-yard Cam Little field goal and a 43-yard completion from Jefferson to Treylon Burks to set up a one-yard scoring run by Raheim Sanders.
Mizzou bracketed that touchdown with a pair of Harrison Mevis field goals. Late in the first quarter LB Blaze Alldredge forced a fumble by Arkansas' Trelon Smith that was recovered at the UA 39-yard line by Chad Bailey. The Tigers turned that into a 46-yard Mevis field goal that tied the score at 3-3 early in the second frame. Mevis made it 10-6 with a 49-yard FG with 3:02 left before halftime.
But in the second half, Arkansas hit the Tigers quickly. Jefferson tossed a slip-screen pass to De'Vion Warren for a 55-yard gain to the MU 6 and two plays later, Smith ran for a four-yard score. On their next possession, Jefferson hit Burks for a 52-yard touchdown strike to make it 24-6.
After Mevis nailed a 41-yard field goal that made the score 24-9, Jefferson completed a 39-yard pass to Ketron Jackson Jr. on a third-and-eight play that produced a 23-yard field goal by Little and upped the UA advantage to 27-9.
