In a thrilling homecoming showdown before a sellout crowd at Memorial Stadium, the Missouri Tigers staged a dramatic late-game comeback to defeat the Auburn Tigers 21-17. Missouri quarterback Brady Cook, who returned from a midgame injury scare, orchestrated two decisive fourth-quarter touchdown drives. His heroics capped a 95-yard drive with a go-ahead touchdown by Jamal Roberts, leaving just 46 seconds on the clock.
Auburn had earlier established a commanding 17-3 lead, capitalizing on a 47-yard touchdown reception by Cam Coleman and a fumble recovery in the end zone by Antonio Kite. However, Cook's resilience and the stingy Missouri defense, which allowed just 22 yards in the final quarter, fueled Missouri's rally. The victory marked Missouri's eighth consecutive homecoming win and clinched bowl eligibility for the fifth straight year.

Craig's 51-yard field goal was a spectacular opener, setting the tone early with Missouri taking a 3-0 lead at Faurot Field, bolstering Missouri's confidence and momentum in a tightly contested battle.
Towns McGough (Auburn)
McGough's consistent kicking was vital for Auburn, as his 32-yard field goal tied the game at 3-3, ensuring Auburn kept pace with Missouri's early efforts.
Payton Thorne (Auburn)
With Auburn needing a spark, Thorne delivered a 47-yard touchdown pass that saw Cam Coleman outrun the Missouri defense, giving Auburn a pivotal 10-3 lead.
Antonio Kite (Auburn)
Capitulating on a major mistake by Missouri, Kite's fumble recovery for a touchdown turned the momentum heavily in Auburn's favor, expanding their lead to 17-3.

Carroll's 2-yard touchdown run, set up by a stunning 78-yard play, and Cook's two-point conversion trimmed Auburn's lead to 17-14, setting the stage for a dramatic conclusion.
Jamal Roberts (Missouri)
Roberts' clutch late-game 4-yard run was the exclamation point on Missouri's comeback, securing the winning score with just 46 seconds remaining.
Brady Cook (Missouri, QB)
Returning from injury, his leadership in the fourth quarter was instrumental in shifting the game's outcome. Cook's resilience and passing accuracy, including a pivotal 78-yard connection, solidified the comeback victory.
Eugene Asante (Auburn, LB)
Delivering defensive pressure consistently, Asante compiled a career-high two sacks and assisted in numerous key tackles, fortifying Auburn's defensive efforts throughout the match.
Jamal Roberts (Missouri, RB)
Seizing his opportunity amidst adversity, Roberts was crucial in the fourth quarter, culminating in a game-winning touchdown run that sealed Missouri's triumph.
