Series vs. SOUTH CAROLINA | MAYOR’S CUP TROPHY

• Missouri leads the series with South Carolina, 6-5. The Gamecocks hold a 5-4 edge since the Tigers joined the Southeastern Conference in 2012. Last time out, Mizzou took a 49-14 win in Columbia, S.C. during the 2020 season. Last time in CoMo, the Tigers won 27-0.

• Mizzou and South Carolina has developed into one of the Tigers’ better rivalry games since joining the SEC. The two teams play for the Mayor’s Cup Trophy as both school’s home cities are Columbia.

2020: MIZZOU AT SOUTH CAROLINA

Mizzou defeated South Carolina, 17-10, on Nov. 21., to claim the Mayor’s Cup Trophy for the second consecutive season. Despite being a limited roster due to COVID and injuries, Mizzou opened a 17-0 lead by the intermission and never looked back. The Tiger defense was the story Saturday, limiting the Gamecocks to just 283 yards on 11 drives, as linebacker Nick Bolton led the way with a team-high 14 tackles, two of which went for a loss.

LAST TIME OUT: MIZZOU

No. 1 Georgia used a blocked punt for a safety and a touchdown drive following the ensuing free kick during a 19-point second quarter and went on to a 43-6 victory over Missouri. With Connor Bazelak out with an injury, freshman Tyler Macon and redshirt freshman Brady Cook split Mizzou’s quarterback assignment, each leading five drives. Macon completed 6-of-13 passes for 74 yards and was the Tigers’ leading rusher with 42 yards on 11 carries. Cook was 14-of-19 for 78 yards and ran 10 times for 32 yards. They each led scoring drives that ended in Harrison Mevis field goals. Tyler Badie ran nine times for 41 yards and caught five passes for 10 yards. Three Tigers finished with double-digit tackles with Chad Bailey, Jaylon Carlies and Martez Manuel all making 10 stops. Carlies also snagged his fourth interception of the season.

LAST TIME OUT: SOUTH CAROLINA

South Carolina routed Florida, 40-17, on Saturday night. First-time starter Jason Brown threw for two touchdowns, Kevin Harris and ZaQuandre White each rushed for over 100 yards and South Carolina’s defense held the potent Gators’ attack to just 82 yards rushing. The Gators entered averaging 242 yards per game on the ground and 483 yards of total offense, third best in the SEC. But South Carolina became the first team this season to outgain them, 459-340. Parker White had a career-best four field goals and defensive tackle Jabari Ellis had an 18-yard fumble recovery touchdown to put South Carolina up 30-10 at halftime.

GIVE BADIE HIS DUE

• One of the nation’s premier running backs, Tyler Badie became the fifth player in the country to eclipse 1,000 rushing yards this season. The senior ranks 10th nationally in rushing yards (1030), yards per game (114.4), 11th in total points (90) and fifth in total touchdowns (15). Each of those marks lead the SEC. Badie is also second in the SEC and fifth nationally in scoring (10.0 ppg) and 18th nationally and second in rushing touchdowns (11).

• The running back is poised to fly up the Mizzou single-season rushing list, needing just 68 yards to tie Bob Stueber’s 1942 campaign for 10th in the all-time record books.

• Badie has rushed for over 200 yards on three different occasions this season (254 vs. Vanderbilt, 209 vs. North Texas, 203 vs. CMU). He is the only player in the country with three, 200-yard games this season and one of just five SEC players to complete the feat since 2000 (Leonard Fournette, Derrick Henry, Lynn Bowden Jr. and Trayveon Williams).

• His 254-yard rushing performance at Vanderbilt marked the most by a Mizzou back in the SEC era (2012-pres.) and the fifth most in program history. He is the first Tiger to rush for 200 yards three times in one season and one of just two Mizzou players to post three, 200-yard games in his career, joining Brad Smith.

• With his 17-yard reception against Tennessee, Badie became the first Mizzou Tiger in program history to reach 1,000 rushing yards and 1,000 receiving yards in his career. He became the first SEC player to reach the mark since Kentucky wide receiver Lynn Bowden, Jr., did so in 2019.

• Another first, Badie is the lone Tiger to score a combination of 15 rushing scores and 10 receiving TDs.

• Badie is the first Tiger since Jeremy Maclin in 2007 to record four rushing and receiving touchdowns in a season.

• His 203-yard performance in the season opener was the first by a Tiger since Larry Rountree went for 204 in Dec. 2018 against Oklahoma State. The 203 rushing yards were the 15th most in Mizzou history.

• At Kentucky, Badie hauled in a career-best 10 receptions for 88 yards. He became the first Tiger to catch 10 passes in a game since Emanuel Hall did so against Wyoming in 2018.

BAILEY BRINGING THE BOOM

• Redshirt junior linebacker Chad Bailey has made the most of his opportunity to step into the starting lineup this season, racking up 23 of his 31 tackles in his five starts.

• Bailey produced a career day at No. 1 Georgia, making 10 tackles to help the Mizzou rush defense to its best performance of the season.

• At Vanderbilt, Bailey made two tackles for loss and recorded his first career sack in a six-tackle effort.

CARLIES CREATING HAVOC

• Sophomore safety Jaylon Carlies has been a force at the back of Mizzou’s defense, creating five turnovers for the Tigers.

• The safety picked up his fourth INT of the season at Georgia, tying Carlies for fourth nationally and second in the SEC this season.

• Carlies recorded his first collegiate interception in the season opener against Central Michigan. He made it two-straight games with an INT by pulling in a deflected pass from Kentucky QB Will Levis in week two.

• The back-to-back INTs made Carlies the first Mizzou player to pick off a pass in consecutive games since Adam Sparks accomplished the feat against Vanderbilt and Arkansas in 2017.

• The safety also made one of the biggest plays of the game, forcing a UK fumble late in the first half which was recovered by the Tigers in the end zone. The play led to a Mizzou touchdown with four seconds to play in the half, pull the Black & Gold within seven at the break.
