Four articles breaking down the Missouri Tigers' loss to the Oklahoma Sooners

Stories by Kansas City Star journalists, with AI summarization

The Missouri Tigers had a tough time in their loss to Oklahoma, particularly on offense. It was a game of missed opportunities for the group, which settled for field goals and lacked aggressiveness on fourth down. The Tigers scored only six points from their red-zone trips in the 17-6 loss.

Oklahoma's defense was as good as advertised, and the Missouri run game stalled out. Beau Pribula offered a bright spot for the Tigers, returning to game action after it was feared he could miss the rest of the season. But he also threw two interceptions.

The Tigers have one more game remaining in the regular season, next week against Arkansas.
