BOX SCORE
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) -- Darren Davis ran for 111 yards and two
touchdowns and Iowa State twice stopped Missouri inside the 5 to
beat the Tigers 24-21 Saturday night for its first Big 12 road
victory since 1991.
Sage Rosenfels got the go-ahead score on a 2-yard bootleg in the
third quarter for Iowa State, which rallied from a 14-0 deficit to
snap an 0-28-1 road conference slump. The Cyclones' last conference
victory also came at Missouri, 23-22 on Nov. 2, 1991.
Missouri (3-3 overall, 0-3 Big 12) scored on two of its first
three possessions, with DeVaughn Black fumbling at the 2 on the
unsuccessful drive. Quarterback Jim Dougherty directed all three,
but Missouri struggled after the other half of its quarterback
tandem, Kirk Farmer, broke his right leg with 7:38 to go in the
first half.
Iowa State had surrendered 84 points the previous two weeks in
losses to Kansas State and Nebraska. Missouri missed a chance to
tie it 21-21 when fullback Rob West dropped a pass on fourth-and-1
from the 3 with 11:51 to play.
Zain Gilmore cut the gap to 3 points on a 2-yard run with 2:04
remaining. Missouri's Travis Garvin caught a 42-yard pass to the
Iowa State 5 as time expired.
Iowa State, which hasn't had a winning season since 1989, won
without an exceptional game from Davis, who had 29 carries. He
barely topped his previous season low of 107 yards against Nebraska
last week.
Davis was a decoy over the top as Iowa State ground out an
11-play, 32-yard drive capped by Rosenfels' 2-yard run around right
end with 3:52 to go in the third quarter that put the Cyclones
ahead 21-14. Dougherty gave the ball away with an option toss far
behind DeVaughn Black, with Atif Austin recovering for Iowa State.
Rosenfels was 8-for-13 for 141 yards and ran for 32 yards on 12
carries.
Mike McKnight added a 43-yard field goal with 5:08 to go after
Iowa State ate up nearly seven minutes on a 12-play drive.
Farmer was injured after an incomplete pass on the Iowa State
sideline with 7:38 to go in the second quarter and Missouri leading
14-0. He threw nine touchdown passes in five games.
Dougherty put Missouri ahead 14-0 in the first quarter on passes
of 40 yards to Garvin and 8 yards to T.J. Leon. Davis, who has 10
touchdowns, tied it on runs of 3 and 2 yards in the second quarter.
