"It came down to the fourth quarter and we just got that fumble and he ran down there," Pinkel said. "It was more about survival there towards the end, but now I got that trophy. I'm going to have it forever."
Pinkel became Missouri's all-time winningest coach with the win. Pinkel is now 102-63 in 13 seasons to surpass Mizzou legend Don Faurot who won 101 games from 1935-42 and 1946-56.
Missouri running back Henry Josey was named the Outstanding Offensive Player after rushing for 92 yards and three touchdowns.
Tigers middle linebacker Andrew Wilson was awarded the game's Outstanding Defensive Player trophy after making 15 tackles.
