COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) -- A
botched Missouri extra-point snap and a bobbled punt attempt that led to a
safety helped Vanderbilt beat Missouri 19-15 Saturday night, depriving the
former Big 12 school of its first SEC win.
Missouri (3-3, 0-3
Southeastern Conference) took an early 6-0 lead and kept Vanderbilt from
gaining a first down until nearly nine minutes into the second quarter. But
Missouri couldn't muster much offense after an early injury to starting
quarterback James Franklin, who sprained his left knee on a first-quarter run
and didn't return.
Backup quarterback Corbin
Berkstresser was just 9 of 30 for 189 yards, including an 85-yard scoring pass
to Bud Sasser that cut a Commodores' fourth-quarter lead to 16-15. Missouri
missed the extra point and a chance to tie on a bad snap.
Zac Stacy rushed for 72
yards and two touchdowns on 29 carries for Vanderbilt (2-3, 1-2), which earned
its first conference win.
