On This Day in Mizzou History:

Sept. 18, 1965: Missouri, under head coach Dan Devine, suffered a 7-0 loss against Kentucky in its 1965 season opener. A 36-yard touchdown pass from Rick Norton to Larry Seiple was all the Wildcats needed to dismantle Missouri in the second matchup between the two programs.

"You can't win if you don't score," wrote Dick Wade of The Kansas City Star

Missouri came just two yards away from scoring, but failed to convert a fourth-and-goal with just 6:27 remaining on a rush from running back Johnny Roland.
