🏈 Alabama Football Stays Hot, Outlasts No. 14 Missouri 27–24 in SEC Road Battle

COLUMBIA, Mo. | The No. 8 Alabama Crimson Tide (5–1, 3–0 SEC) continued their midseason surge with a hard-fought 27–24 victory over No. 14 Missouri (5–1, 1–1 SEC) on Saturday afternoon inside Faurot Field at Memorial Stadium. The win handed Missouri its first loss of the season and snapped a 15-game home winning streak dating back to 2023.

Quarterback Ty Simpson led the charge for Alabama, completing 23 of 31 passes for 200 yards and three touchdowns, extending his streak of multi-touchdown games to six — one of only four quarterbacks nationwide to do so this season. Freshman Lotzeir Brooks played a key role late, pulling in a critical 29-yard reception on fourth-and-eight that kept Alabama’s game-clinching drive alive.

The Crimson Tide struck first offensively behind Simpson’s precision passing, connecting with Kevin Riley, Isaiah Horton, and Daniel Hill for touchdown receptions. Hill’s one-yard grab in the fourth quarter — his first career score — proved decisive as Alabama’s defense held firm down the stretch. Running back Jam Miller anchored the Tide’s ground game with 85 rushing yards on 20 carries. At the same time, Alabama’s offensive line showcased versatility with Kadyn Proctor and Parker Brailsford each recording offensive touches to extend drives.

Defensively, Deontae Lawson and Nikhai Hill-Green led with seven tackles apiece, while LT Overton added 1.5 sacks. Freshman defensive back Dijon Lee Jr. sealed the game with his first career interception, halting Missouri’s final drive.
