COLUMBIA, Mo. – Mizzou junior K Tucker McCann has been named among the Lou Groza Awards Stars of the Week, announced Monday by the Palm Beach County Sports Commission. This is the first time that McCann has earned this distinction.

Mizzou is still undefeated thanks to kicker McCann’s 25-yard field goal as time expired to give the Tigers a 40-37 road victory over Purdue in West Lafayette, Ind., Saturday. The junior from O’Fallon, Ill., was 4-for-5 on field goals with makes of 40, 31 and 29 yards in addition to the game-winner. His lone miss was blocked from 50 yards out. He added four PATs for a 16-point game. With eight field goals on the season, McCann is tied for second in the nation and leads the SEC in scoring through three weeks of play.

McCann and the Tigers return home this Saturday to host No. 2/3 Georgia in a battle of SEC East unbeatens. The game will air at 11 a.m. on ESPN 1550 AM.
