Beau Pribula scored on a 3-yard run in the second overtime, lifting No. 16 Missouri to a 23-17 victory over reeling Auburn on Saturday night.

Instead, Cobb lost two yards, setting up a fourth down and eight to go. The next play, Missouri brought the blitz and forced Arnold to dump the ball off to a lineman. The play was ruled illegal touching, causing heartbreak for the Auburn faithful.

Despite holding Missouri to a season-low in points for the third straight conference game, special teams failures and offensive collapse in overtime doomed Auburn.

After the Auburn football team lost to the Georgia Bulldogs in the week prior, the program would lose another game on Saturday in heartbreaking fashion to Missouri in overtime, 23-17. While Auburn football head coach Hugh Freeze said change was needed after the Georgia loss, he would make an admission after the disappointment against Missouri.

And the conditions proved to be challenging once again, as an SEC-winless Auburn had No. 16 Mizzou on the ropes and fighting throughout a double OT thriller. But the MU Tigers survived a late interception, penalty issues and even a missed field goal in the first extra period to win - yes, win - 23-17 late Saturday night.
