COLUMBIA, Mo. — Connor Bazelak completed 21 of 30 passes for 346 yards and three touchdowns to lead Missouri to a 59-28 victory over Southeast Missouri.

Bazelak, who only played in the first half, spread the ball to 10 receivers.

Tyler Badie rushed nine times for 81 yards and two touchdowns and added a receiving TD.
