Game summary

The Missouri Tigers scored first, with a Terry McMillan 4-yard touchdown run to complete an eleven-play, 71-yard drive to take a 7–0 lead.[6][7]

In the second quarter, Alabama scored their only touchdown of the game after Donnie Sutton intercepted a McMillan pass and returned it 38 yards for touchdown to tie the game at 7–7.[6] Missouri retook the lead late in the second when McMillan scored from five yards out to give the Tigers a 14–7 lead at the half.[6] After a scoreless third quarter, the Alabama Crimson Tide scored its final points of the game on a 28-yard field goal by Mike Dean to cut the score to 14–10. Missouri responded with three touchdowns to put the game out of reach.[6] The first score was set up after Roger Wehrli intercepted a Neb Hayden pass and returned it to the Bama 21-yard line. Four plays later, McMillan scored his third touchdown of the game on a two-yard run.[6] Greg Cook scored next on a 35-yard touchdown run and Dennis Poppe had the final points after returning a Scott Hunter pass 47 yards for a touchdown.[6]

For the game, Missouri completed zero passes, but rushed for 402 yards and out-gained the Crimson Tide in total offense 402 to 132.[8] The 25-point loss was the worst for Alabama in its 22 bowl-game history, and the 35 points Missouri scored were the most Alabama had ever surrendered in a bowl game.[4]
