#24 Missouri fights off sluggish O, Blaine Gabbert injury to best Colorado
Missouri's defense stifles A&M as Blaine Gabbert tosses 3 TDs
QB Blaine Gabbert
won Big 12 honors, sharing co-offensive player-of-the-week. Gahn McGaffie was named the special teams player-of-the-week.
Gabbert finished 30 of 42 for 308 yards and a score. In the fourth quarter, he completed 8-of-9 passes for 95 yards and one TD.
McGaffie returned the opening kickoff 86 yards for a touchdown. It was the first kickoff return for a touchdown for Mizzou since Jeremy Maclin
did it in 2008. It's the first time Mizzou has returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown since Roger Wehrli
went 96 yards for a score against Iowa State in 1967.
It's the first time Gabbert has been named player-of-the-week this season.
This is the first time Missouri has started 7-0 since 1960.

Gary Pinkel
's 150th career win as a coach (77-48 at Missouri, 73-37-3 at Toledo
).
Missouri has never played better defensively in a Big 12 game--and now the Tigers might never play another Big 12 game.
In a 35-7 victory over Kansas on Saturday, the Tigers (No. 14 BCS, No. 15 AP) held their archrivals to 141 yards, the fewest they've allowed a conference opponent in the Big 12's 15 seasons.
In the 119th meeting between these programs, Missouri evened the all-time series (according to the NCAA record book) at 55-55-9. The Tigers have won four of the last five. Missouri wrapped up a 10-win season for the fourth time in school history and third under coach Gary Pinkel.
Marcus Coker runs for 219, Micah Hyde returns INT to fuel Iowa rally
