Mizzou drops ranked road matchup to Mississippi State, 31-24
The Tigers dug out of an early deficit but couldn’t answer 14 Bulldogs points in the final quarter
Missouri's football team suffered a disappointing 31-24 loss to ranked Mississippi State Bulldogs at Davis Wade Stadium on September 26, 2026. The Bulldogs took an early lead, scoring 14 unanswered points in the first quarter thanks to a combination of quarterback Kamario Taylor's impressive performances and the defense's special teams play.
Mizzou's offense struggled to sustain momentum and failed to capitalize on several opportunities. However, a crucial defensive stop by Daeden Hopkins led to a Missouri touchdown late in the third quarter, giving them a 17-14 lead. The Tigers continued to build on that lead with more touchdowns in the fourth quarter, but Mississippi State bounced back with a final string of 14 unanswered points to secure the victory.
This is the Tigers' first loss of the season, and they will return to Columbia next Saturday for a Homecoming game against Florida.
