Missouri Beats Florida in Overtime On Two-Point Conversion to Earn Bowl Eligibility

Missouri grabbed its sixth win of the year to earn bowl eligibility on Saturday after defeating Florida in a 24–23 thriller in overtime. 

After the Gators opened up overtime with a touchdown, Tigers running back Tyler Badie scored on a 13-yard run that set up a two-point try for the win.

Quarterback Connor Bazelak faked the handoff but was pressured off the edge. He heaved a fadeaway pass to the end zone and found a wide open Daniel Parker for the walk-off win. 

Parker was rushed by his teammates in celebration as Memorial Stadium erupted. Missouri improved to 6–5 and has guaranteed itself a bowl appearance. Meanwhile, the Gators fall to 5–6 and will fight for bowl eligibility next week against the Seminoles, who will also need a win to reach a bowl game.
