Tigers Surge To Commanding First-Half Lead
BOULDER, Col. — After scoring 27 points in its previous 10 quarters of play, Mizzou put up 21 in the first quarter against Colorado on Saturday in Boulder, highlighted by Blaine Gabbert’s 73-yard TD pass to Danario Alexander.
At the end of the first quarter last week, MU trailed Texas 21-0. Entering Saturday’s game, MU had just 33 first-quarter points all season.
Grant Ressel’s 29-yard field goal made it 24-0 midway through the second quarter.
Now before you go looking for a panic button to hit, Danario Alexander has been pronounced ready to go for Missouri against Colorado here today. Chad Moller, MU sports information director, confirmed Mizzou’s top receiver had been held out of practice back in Columbia.
