Mizzou start on offense: Mauk short-arms a swing pass, WR drops a screen, Mauk nearly picked throwing against pressure. Not ideal.
— Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) December 6, 2014
We all know Mizzou needs some breaks to win this game. Not recovering back-to-back 50/50 fumbles is the opposite of breaks.

Putting up five times the yards and eight times the number of first downs and being up 7-0 is the most Lane Kiffin result ever.

This is exactly what Missouri wants to do, FWIW; make it an ugly, sloppy, low-scoring affair. Alabama is assisting them in that endeavor.

Sims with an absolute beauty to DeAndrew White on the post. Perfect TD.

For people asking about the fumble in the Alabama game, they ruled forward progress and they were right. Forward progress is not reviewable.
