Missouri (3-3, 1-2) lost its fifth straight to Kansas State and has lost 19 in a row to ranked teams.
"Our tackling stunk as bad as our blocking," Missouri coach Larry Smith said. "We told our players all week it would be simple — nothing fancy. The team that blocked the best and tackled the best would win. They made us look like we were standing still."
