No. 9 Missouri 48, Kentucky 17: Redshirt freshman Maty Mauk tied a school record with five touchdown passes - four to Dorial Green-Beckham, also a school mark - as the visiting Tigers routed the Wildcats.
Henry Josey added 113 yards on the ground and scored three touchdowns for Missouri (9-1, 5-1 SEC), which remains atop the SEC East. Green-Beckham caught seven passes for 100 yards.
Jalen Whitlow passed for 225 yards and rushed for 44 yards and a touchdown for Kentucky (2-7, 0-5), which has not won a conference game since beating Tennessee in the 2011 season finale. Raymond Sanders caught four passes for 70 yards and rushed for 34 yards and a score.
The Wildcats took a 3-0 lead on Joe Mansour's 21-yard field goal on their opening possession and stopped the Tigers on their first two series. Missouri reeled off 28 straight points to end the half, as Mauk threw a pair of TD passes to Green-Beckham and Josey added a 4-yard touchdown run and a 6-yard touchdown reception.
Kentucky opened the second half with an impressive drive capped by Whitlow's 1-yard run and had the ball back with a chance to pull closer, but Raymond Sanders fumbled after a long reception and Missouri took advantage. Mauk and Green-Beckham hooked up for two more scores and Josey broke an 86-yard touchdown run to put it away.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Missouri has forced a turnover in 40 consecutive games, the longest active streak in the FBS. … Green-Beckham's four touchdown receptions bettered the former record of three, achieved by five players, most recently Danario Alexander in 2009 against Kansas State. … Kentucky lost for the first time this season when passing for more yards than its opponent.
