The Missouri Tiger football team held its second major scrimmage of fall camp Thursday morning at Faurot Field.

The Tiger defense claimed a 12-8 victory in the unique scoring system, to give them victories in both scrimmages thus far in camp.

Senior CB Trey Hobson had a pair of interceptions to lead the charge, including one that he returned 12 yards for a touchdown early in the day.

Hobson's pick six was the first score of the day, and it stood for a lengthy time as the only points scored by either side until junior TB Kendial Lawrence continued to build his case for the starting job, as he slid free for a 60-yard touchdown run that was very reminiscent of the two 60-yard TD runs he had in Saturday's first scrimmage.

Lawrence would finish the day with 76 rushing yards on 11 carries, while he also caught a pair of passes for 20 yards.

The offense would tally three more short scoring runs, with all of them coming on situational drives which started inside the defense's 15-yardline or better.

QB James Franklin scored from five yards out on a keeper against the #2 defense, while TB Greg White rambled in from 13 yards out against the reserve defenders.

 That was followed by TB Tyler Hunt's 11-yard touchdown run.
