With about 7 minutes left in the 2nd quarter, Mizzou had a first and goal at the 4. In theory, you should score a TD there 9 times out of 10. But we held them to 3--so a huge 4 point play! This first-half possession most likely won't get talked about much at all because of the 4th quarter stops, but considering we only won by 4...
 
I'd say it's a wash considering Lemon's TD drop on the first drive at the 5 yard line that went through his hands. We settled for 3. Another 4 points left on the table.
 
Mizzou's play calling on that 1st and 4 series was horrific, especially the 2nd down fade route to the corner. they were gashing us on the ground and in the air and their OC calls a play with about a 10% success rate.
 
Don't think it's been overlooked. Even Mizzou press is pointing out that that stand was what changed the game.
