UConn Falls To Missouri

STORRS, Conn. -- Drew Lock threw for 377 yards and five touchdowns and Missouri topped UConn 52-12 on Saturday night, winning back-to-back games for the first time since the start of the 2015 season.

Lock, who played just under three quarters, finished with a career high 31 completions on 37 attempts.

The Tigers (3-5) gave up a safety after an errant snap on the opening drive, then scored on their next five possessions to lead 31-5 at halftime.

Lock completed 14 of 15 passes in the first quarter, three of them for touchdowns, including two to freshman tight end Albert Okwuegbunam.

He also hit J'Mon Moore for two scores and hooked up with Johnathon Johnson for a 72-yard catch and run in the third quarter.

The Tigers had 583 yards of offense, 408 through the air.

Bryant Shirreffs completed 19 of 39 passes for 202 yards for UConn (3-5), but was sacked five times. The Tigers also had nine tackles for loss.

"We're not going to show this film to these guys," UConn coach Randy Edsall said. "We're going to move forward and just make sure we have the right guys out there."
