We have liftoff. Blake Craig boots it into the drizzly afternoon and Vanderbilt takes over to start.

Like that, we're off at Faurot Field. Diego Pavia and the Commodores will kick things off from the 25-yard line.

Both teams get stops on their first defensive possessions of the game. We remain scoreless through four minutes of play.

Keep an eye on #Mizzou linebacker Corey Flagg Jr, who appeared to enter the medical tent. Didn't get a look at what happened.

Vandy strikes first. Pavia, on the run, connects with Joseph McVay for a 65-yard touchdown. 9:06 1st Quarter Vanderbilt: 7 No. 7 #Mizzou: 0

This is the third wide-open score the Tigers have allowed all year. Not sure who's assignment it was, but that will need to get cleaned up ASAP.

Beautiful play call, beautiful execution. Cook fakes the handoff and hits Luther Burden III for a 20-yard score. 3:51 1st Quarter Vanderbilt: 7 No. 7 #Mizzou: 7

Pavia breaks off a huge run to advance the Commodores into scoring territory. Multiple missed tackles on the Tigers side of things.

Lot of option and designed run calls for Pavia. He's been hard to stop early on for Vanderbilt entering the second quarter. 15:00 2nd Quarter Vanderbilt: 7 No. 7 #Mizzou: 7

Big third down stop from Chris McClellan and Zion Young to shut down Pavia. Vandy settles for three points to jump back into the lead. 13:27 2nd Quarter Vanderbilt: 10 No. 7 #Mizzou: 7

#Vanderbilt's Langston Patterson appears to be banged up.

#Mizzou QB Brady Cook finds Theo Wease Jr in the nick of time to convert on third down. Brave throw.

Longest play of the game so far for the Tigers. Running back Nate Noel breaks off a 32-yard run into midfield. On the same play, Vandy safety De'Rickey Wright appears to be down.

Patterson is back in the game.

Nate Noel continues to be Mr. Reliable. 17-yard run to the Vanderbilt 8-yard line.

Wow. Vandy gets a third down stop and Blake Craig misses from 24-yards. 6:48 2nd Quarter Vanderbilt: 10 No. 7 #Mizzou: 7

Quick three and out from the Vandy offense. Great response from the Tiger defense. A sack from Chuck Hicks ends the drive.

Having a hard time remembering the last time Noel didn't throw a spin move in a long run. He busts off a 16-yarder into Vandy territory.
