COLUMBIA, Mo. — Isaiah Spiller had one man to beat. Texas A&M’s running back burst out of the backfield like a cannonball with only Missouri safety Jaylon Carlies between him and the end zone.
But like this Tigers team countless times already in 2021, Carlies whiffed on the opportunity. He lunged right, Spiller leaned right and the Tigers never recovered their footing. Spiller sprinted 48 yards untouched into the north end zone and probably could have dashed all the way to Moberly.
“I came down a little wobbly,” Carlies said, “a little loose.”
