Recap

Missouri dominated Southeast Missouri State from start to finish, scoring touchdowns on five of their first six possessions to put the game completely out of reach by halftime. Chase Daniel was surgical in the passing game, connecting with Jeremy Maclin, Jared Perry, and Derrick Washington for scores while the Tigers' rushing attack added two more touchdowns from Washington. Southeast Missouri State managed only a defensive score when Sean Weatherspoon returned an interception for a touchdown in the second quarter, but the Lions were otherwise stymied throughout the afternoon. Missouri's defense forced two turnovers while their offense was flawless with zero turnovers, and the Tigers controlled the line of scrimmage despite SEMo's time-of-possession advantage. The 52-3 final score reflected complete dominance as Missouri successfully defended the belt against overmatched FCS competition.

Derrick Washington's 5-yard rushing touchdown in Q1 (10:51) opened the scoring and set the tone for Missouri's offensive assault
Chase Daniel's 28-yard touchdown pass to Derrick Washington in Q1 (1:13) made it 21-0 and showed Missouri's passing game was equally devastating
Sean Weatherspoon's 64-yard interception return for a touchdown in Q2 (11:19) was SEMo's only score and represented their only significant offensive success
Back-to-back touchdown drives by Missouri in the second quarter, including a 28-yard Daniel-to-Perry TD pass, put the game away early
