Theo Wease breaks multiple tackles en route to go-ahead TD vs. his old team

Theo Wease Jr. began his college career at Oklahoma, where he played the first 3 seasons of his collegiate career. During his time in Norman, he had 64 catches for 1,044 yards and 10 touchdowns.

He transferred to Missouri before the start of last year, and he has been one of the better playmakers for the Tigers, and he showcased that on Saturday night against his ole team.

It has been a low-scoring night during the game against the Sooners, as the Tigers were trailing 9-3 when quarterback Drew Pyne hit Wease on a 3rd and goal from the 13 for a touchdown.

Missouri is without its starting quarterback in Brady Cook, who has missed the last games with an injury. Pyne has filled in the last 2 games, and it has been tough sledding for the Tigers offense.

Prior to that touchdown by Wease, Missouri had scored only 3 points in the last 6 quarters.

The Tigers are still mathematically in the race to play in the SEC championship game, but they are going to need help from other teams in the conference.

Missouri will be back in action next weekend on the road at a South Carolina team that is playing its best football of the season.
