Game review: Missouri posts shutout
Final score: Missouri 14, Iowa State 0.
Missouri held on for the shutout in Ames, Iowa and wound the clock down in the final minutes. The Tigers will keep the Field Phone Trophy that defines the rivalry.

Halftime update
Slow start in Ames for both sides in this one, as the Tigers lead an uneventful contest 7-0 at halftime.
Neither team has a turnover, but they have done little with the ball. Missouri has punted four times and Iowa State three times in the first thirty minutes.
Neither team has more than 170 yards of total offense, as Missouri has just 92 passing yards and 76 rushing yards. Iowa State has just 145 total yards.
