Gabbert and Alexander Connect
Stuck in an offensive rut for most of the game, Blaine Gabbert and Danario Alexander connected on a 54-yard touchdown pass to regain the lead for the Tigers. Alexander made an acrobatic, leaping catch to grab the ball over a Kansas State defender. After Grant Ressel's extra point, the Tigers lead the Wildcats 10-3. It was the first time Missouri has scored a touchdown after a turnover by an opponent since the Sept. 25 game at Nevada.
The drive was helped in part by a defensive pass interference penalty on KSU. On third down, wide receiver Jerrell Jackson drew the penalty when the KSU defender brought him to the ground before he had a chance to catch the ball.
