Tigers settle for field goal

Posted to Live blog: No. 6 Missouri at No. 14 Nebraska by John Montesantos at 5:15 p.m., Oct. 30, 2010

The Tigers had the ball within a yard of the goal line on first down but came up short three straight plays. As they set up to go for it on fourth and a foot, they went offsides.

Missouri settled for the short field goal to make it a two score game.

Nebraska 31, Missouri 17 with under two minutes left in the third quarter.
