COLUMBIA, Mo. — Larry Rountree carried 37 times for 126 yards and two touchdowns, leading Missouri to a grinding 20-10 victory over Kentucky.

The Tigers played stingy defense and converted enough third- and fourth-down plays to control the ball with lengthy drives.

Missouri held the ball for 43 minutes and ran 56 more plays than the Wildcats.
