Alabama escaped Columbia with a hard-fought 27-24 victory over Missouri, with quarterback Ty Simpson throwing three touchdown passes including a crucial 1-yard strike to Daniel Hill with just over three minutes remaining. The Tigers kept pace throughout, as Beau Pribula accounted for three scores—two passing and one rushing—while engineering a late touchdown drive to pull within three points. Despite a valiant comeback attempt, Missouri couldn't overcome the Crimson Tide's fourth-quarter push in a thrilling SEC showdown at Faurot Field.
