LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels accounted for four touchdowns and nearly 400 total yards while the LSU defense made a massive play at an incredibly important time to give the No. 23 Tigers a 42-39 win over No. 21 Missouri.
After Daniels hit a wide-open Malik Nabers for a 29-yard TD with 3:59 to go, Bradyn Swinson forced a Brady Cook fumble on third down after Missouri had quickly moved into LSU territory. Mizzou recovered the fumble but then faced a 4th and 32 that it didn’t convert.
Swinson forced the fumble off the blind side as Cook didn’t realize he was approaching while looking downfield. After Missouri failed to convert its fourth down, LSU was forced to punt with 53 seconds left. But Mason Burns picked Cook off and scored a pick-6 to end the home Tigers’ hopes of staying undefeated.
