Texas Beats Missouri 34-20 on the Road, Rises to No. 8 in AP Poll
The University of Texas Longhorns defeated the No. 19 Missouri Tigers 34-20 in Columbia, Missouri, on November 7, winning their third straight game to improve to 7-2 overall and 4-2 in the SEC. In the latest AP poll released November 8, Texas climbed from No. 10 to No. 8.
The teams were tied 20-20 through three quarters before Texas scored 14 unanswered points in the fourth. Quarterback Arch Manning completed 28 of 38 passes for 297 yards with three touchdown passes and no turnovers in his best performance of the season. Running back Raleek Brown stepped up with the starter out, totaling 133 yards rushing and receiving, catching a go-ahead touchdown with just over five minutes left and adding an 8-yard rushing touchdown. Backup linebacker Jonathan Cunningham blocked a punt in the second quarter to set up a key possession.
It was Texas's fourth win over a Top 25 opponent this season and head coach Steve Sarkisian's 18th win over a ranked opponent at Texas. The Longhorns next visit No. 24 LSU on Saturday, November 14, as the playoff race tightens.
