Missouri upsets No. 15 Kansas State on 61-yard walk-off FG - ESPN
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Harrison Mevis kicked a 61-yard field goal with no time remaining Saturday, sending Missouri to a field-storming, come-from-behind 30-27 victory over No. 15 Kansas State in a nonconference showdown of former Big 12 rivals.
The Tigers had a chance to give their big-legged kicker a shorter attempt after quarterback Brady Cook had driven them into Kansas State territory in the final seconds. But after huddling on the sideline, Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz was too slow getting his field goal unit onto the field, and the delay of game penalty pushed the Tigers back 5 yards.
Cook proceeded to throw an incomplete pass in the final seconds, but it left just enough time for Mevis to make some magic. Sixty-one yards is the longest field goal in SEC history, according to ESPN Stats & Information research.
Cook finished with 356 yards passing and two touchdowns for the Tigers (3-0), despite hobbling around on a sore leg. Luther Burden III had both of the scoring grabs, finishing with seven catches for 114 yards in another star-making performance.
Will Howard threw for 270 yards and three touchdowns with an interception for the Wildcats (2-1), who had plenty of chances to put the game away but kept coming up short on crucial third downs.
Ben Sinnott added 78 yards receiving and two of the TD catches for Kansas State.
The Wildcats started off like they finished a year ago in the rain, when they rolled to a 40-12 victory in their first meeting since Missouri left the Big 12 for the SEC. Howard hit four different receivers while swiftly marching Kansas State down the field, and his third-and-goal throw was tipped by the Tigers' JC Carlies and into the hands of Phillip Brooks for the score.
