South Carolina followed up Missouri’s scoring drive by going three-and-out after only gaining one yard in three plays.
The Gamecocks were only able to muster up eight plays on offense across the two drives they had in the first quarter.
The second quarter consisted of much the same of both teams.
Missouri added 10 more points to the scoreboard thanks to a touchdown from running back Cody Schrader and a field goal from Harrison Mevis. The scores helped Missouri get out to a 17-0 lead at one point in the second quarter.
Cook and the Tigers had two scoring drives that were 10 plays and 84 and 75-yards apiece in the first half.
South Carolina didn’t score until its very last drive of the second quarter. The Gamecocks were able to drive 82 yards down the field for a seven-yard touchdown from Spencer Rattler.
