The Missouri Tigers are ranked #15 in the nation in the new Associated Press (AP) college football poll, after Saturday night’s thrilling 23-17 double overtime win over Auburn at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
Auburn led Mizzou 14-10 in the fourth quarter, before Mizzou rallied to win in the second overtime. Mizzou running back Ahmad Hardy carried the ball 24 times for 58 yards and two touchdowns. Auburn kicker Alex McPherson missed three field goals in the game.
Mizzou improves to 6-1 overall and 2-1 in the Southeastern Conference, and they move up one slot to #15 in the new AP poll released on Sunday.
Mizzou faces #10 Vanderbilt Saturday afternoon in Nashville, and ESPN’s popular “College Gameday” show will be live in Nashville from 9-11 am. Saturday’s game kicks at 2:30 and will be televised live nationally on ESPN.
