The Crimson Tide defense forced three turnovers and held the Tigers to just 3-of-13 on third down coming up with a huge fourth down stop on the goal line to preserve the shutout late in the game.

The game wasn't without its troubles though, as Alabama lost wide receiver Cole Adams to injury, incurred seven penalties for 85 yards and allowed Missouri to get home for two sacks.
