Missouri 41, Arkansas State 19: James Franklin passed for 255 yards and three scores and ran for another touchdown to lead the host Tigers past the pesky Red Wolves.

Arkansas State jumped to a 6-0 lead in the first quarter on field goals of 41 and 21 yards from Brian Davis. Missouri scored two straight touchdowns to forge a 14-6 lead, but Kennedy threw his scoring pass to Jones before the half, and Davis connected from 44 yards early in the third to put the Red Wolves back on top.

The Tigers took the lead back for good on Franklin's 5-yard touchdown pass to L'Damian Washington late in the third, then added to the lead on Henry Josey's 1-yard scoring scamper 1:35 into the fourth. Davis pulled Arkansas State within eight with a 33-yard field goal midway through the fourth, but Missouri had a Franklin touchdown run and a Franklin-to-Green-Beckham scoring toss to put the game away.
