Missouri’s Devin West honored as part of 2018 SEC Legends Class

Posted on

COLUMBIA, Mo. – Former Mizzou standout RB Devin West, a Mid-Missouri native from Moberly and former All-American, is Mizzou’s honoree in this year’s 2018 SEC Legends Class, announced Tuesday by the league office. West, along with the legends from the other 13 SEC schools, will be honored at this year’s SEC Championship Game in Atlanta on Dec. 1.

Devin West was a first-team All-American as a senior in 1998 and a semi-finalist for the Doak Walker Award, given to the top running back in college football. He rushed for an MU-record 1,578 yards (ranking fifth natioanlly), and 17 touchdowns his senior season.

West was a lightly-known recruit from small-town Moberly, Mo., who developed into a key leader and contributor in Mizzou’s turnaround that saw the Tigers reach consecutive bowl games in 1997 and 1998, after going without a bowl appearance from 1984-96.
The 1998 team defeated West Virginia in the Insight.com Bowl, marking MU’s first bowl victory since 1981. West was only the second Mizzou running back to earn All-America honors and was the first since Bob Steuber in 1942. For his career, he rushed for 2,954 yards and 28 touchdowns, including a Mizzou single-game record of 319 yards against rival Kansas in 1998.

Mahomes rallies Chiefs past Broncos 27-23

Posted on

DENVER (AP) — Patrick Mahomes rallied the unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs back from a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter for a 27-23 win over the Denver Broncos on Monday night.

The Chiefs (4-0) took a two-game lead over the Broncos (2-2) in the AFC West with their sixth straight win over their rivals.

Down 23-13, Mahomes directed a 12-play, 75-yard drive that ate up more than six minutes and culminated with a 2-yard TD toss to tight end Travis Kelce, then added a 60-yard touchdown drive, handing off to Kareem Hunt for the 4-yard score with 1:39 remaining.

It was the first time since 2004 that the Broncos blew a 10-point fourth-quarter lead at home.

In between Kansas City’s scoring drives, the Broncos, who had run roughshod over the Chiefs all night — a 7.2-yard average per run — suddenly abandoned their ground game in favor of three-wide receiver sets that resulted in a quick three-and-out.

Then, struggling punter Marquette King shanked a 35-yarder out of bounds, giving the Chiefs the ball at their 40 with 4:35 left.

Mahomes overcame a couple of flags that put Kansas City in a second-and-30 hole from their 31 and completed a 35-yard pass to Demetrius Harris down to the Broncos’ 11 at the 2-minute warning.

The play should never have counted because the play clock expired before the snap, but referee Craig Wrolstad’s crew missed it.

After the Chiefs took the lead, the Broncos reached the Kansas City 28, but Case Keenum overthrew an open Demaryius Thomas near the goal line racing down the right sideline. Then rookie Courtland Sutton caught a first-down pass but overhanded it back on a failed hook-and-ladder that resulted in a turnover on downs with 5 seconds left.

Phillip Lindsay’s 1-yard TD run broke a 13-all tie late in the third quarter, and Brandon McManus extended the lead to 10 with a 46-yard field goal.

Kelce’s TD catch got the Chiefs within three with 6:27 remaining. Denver’s three-and-out and shanked punt gave the Chiefs the ball at their 40 and brought the Broncos’ exhausted defenders right back onto the field with 4 1/2 minutes remaining.

The officials had another big blunder when Mahomes was about 1 1/2 yards past the line of scrimmage when he scrambled and hit Kelce for a 29-yard catch to the 3 early in the second half. Broncos coach Vance Joseph appeared to be reaching for his red challenge flag but never threw it.

Denver’s defense bailed out its coach by forcing the Chiefs to settle for Harrison Butker’s chip-shot field goal tied it up at 13.

On Denver’s first drive of the second half, Keenum threw a 25-yard pass to tight end Jeff Heuerman, but Chiefs defensive back Eric Murray wrested the ball away as they tumbled out of bounds. Heuerman was starting in place of Jake Butt, who sustained his third ACL tear of his career while practicing special teams on Thursday, ending his season.

It was Keenum’s sixth interception with Denver, one fewer than he had all of last season in Minnesota.

The Broncos averaged a whopping 8.5 yards per carry in the first half but kept stopping themselves with pass plays even though Keenum had completed 14 of 19 throws at the half.

Royce Freeman took a toss from Keenum and slipped seven tackles on his way to a 14-yard touchdown in which he dragged linebacker Anthony Hitchens across the goal line to tie it at 10. The big play of the drive was a 42-yard catch by Sutton.

The Chiefs also had a big play on their first touchdown drive as Hunt rumbled 45 yards, setting up Mahomes’ 8-yard keeper to put the Chiefs on top 10-3.

Denver led 13-10 at halftime.

NATIONAL ANTHEM

Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas and linebacker Brandon Marshall both stood with their teammates during the national anthem. Since the preseason, both players had been retreating to the tunnel nearest their bench during the singing of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

INJURIES

Chiefs: Wide receiver Sammy Watkins pulled a hamstring in the second quarter and didn’t return. Linebacker Dee Ford (groin) left in the fourth quarter.

Broncos: Right tackle Jared Veldheer left in the first quarter with a knee injury and was replaced by Billy Turner.

UP NEXT

Chiefs: Host Jacksonville on Sunday to begin a stretch of three home games in four weeks.

Broncos: Visit the Jets on Sunday, the first of three road games in four weeks.

Griffons’ Cummings, Marino earn weekly MIAA football honors

Posted on

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Two Missouri Western football student-athletes were awarded for the contributions to the team’s 38-7 win over Washburn this past Saturday. Kobe Cummings was named MIAA Defensive Player of the Week and Dom Marino was named MIAA Co-Offensive Player of the Week.

Cummings, a freshman safety from Platte County High School, led the team with 14 total tackles, eight of them solo. The first interception of his young Griffon career came in the first quarter and helped preserve a 7-0 lead for Missouri Western. After the Griffons jumped on top, Washburn answered with a nine-play, 58-yard drive to the Missouri Western 18-yard line. On 3rd and 14 from the MWSU-18, Cummings jumped in front of a Mitch Schurig pass to the end zone, likely saving a touchdown. Marino then led the Griffons on a 10-play 80-yard drive that ended with one of his five touchdowns, a 12-yard rush, to give the Griffons a 14-0 lead early in the second quarter. Cummings’ interception was the first of four by the Griffon defense against Washburn. Brandin Dandridge had two and now leads the MIAA in that category with four on the season.

Marino totaled 314 yards of total offense, passing for 249 and rushing for 65. The senior from Osprey, Florida was 17-for-23 passing with four touchdowns and no interceptions. On the ground, Marino averaged 5.9 yards on 11 carries. The four passing touchdowns and 249 yards were both career highs for Marino. The senior now ranks second among MIAA quarterbacks with 249 rushing yards and eighth overall. Marino’s seven passing touchdowns are tied for fifth most in the MIAA and his one interception is tied for the fewest among qualifying quarterbacks in the MIAA.
