- Punted seven times for 305 yards, averaging 43.6 yards per kick with a long of 51, pinning South Carolina inside its own 20 five times, twice at the 1-yard-line including SC's final drive as it attempted to tie the game with 2:37 remaining.

- South Carolina's average starting LoS was the 14.5-yard line and on drives that started following a Mizzou punt, the average LoS start was the 12 ... SC had just one punt-return yard as McKinniss' net average was 43.4 for the game.

- For perspective, that 43.4 net average would be ninth nationally spread out over this season ... In a game that was decided largely on field position, McKinniss was one of the heroes of the game of Mizzou.
