FAYETTEVILLE -- Missouri wide receiver Kevin Coleman Jr. returned a punt 67 yards for a touchdown to ice a 31-17 win against the University of Arkansas on Saturday at Reynolds Razorback Stadium.

The score, with 8:07 left in the game, marked the first time an Arkansas opponent returned a punt for a score since a 48-10 loss to Auburn on Nov. 11, 2023.

Arkansas interim Coach Bobby Petrino finished 0-7 after stepping in when Sam Pittman was fired as coach Sept. 28 as the Hogs went 2-10 and 0-8 in the SEC.

"It's been a hard deal," Petrino said. "When you take over a team and you lose the head coach, the defensive coaches are gone. ... But there's a lot of positives in there. I'm going to try to look at the positives. I could have a stack of negatives, but that's not going to do any good."
