SAN ANTONIO — Northwestern had a chance for a game-winning drive but could not convert. But after starting at its own 20 with just under three minutes to play, NU went three and out and punted back to Mizzou, which had just tied the game with a field goal.

Missouri now has a chance, starting on its own 34-yard line with more than 90 seconds to go.

The NU defense held Mizzou to a game-tying field goal, but suffered a huge loss in the process. While pursuing Chase Daniel, defensive end Corey Wootton fell to the ground, his knee buckling when he tried to change direction. He had to be helped off the field and will not return.

The Cats also had a chance to prevent the field goal when Daniel overthrew his receiver. But the ball went through Sherrick McManis’ hands. Eventually, Jeff Wolfert hit a 37-yard field goal.
