Anybody criticizing this decision is a worst nightmare for a coach. It was OBVIOUSLY the correct decision. Team is 0-2 on onside kicks. Were the odds very high that it would matter? No, but the odds got to like 1% by sliding. Any coach in the world would say it was the correct decision.

I had no problem with it.

we had 3rd and goal at the 8/ then raleek ran it in there. if raleek didnt score we would attempt a field goal up by 7. what could go wrong with our great special teams there? a block and score to tie? maybe

If he wouldn’t have scored, the clock would have ticked down to around 40 seconds.

Even with a missed 27 yard FG, you are asking Missouri to go 90 yards in 40 seconds to tie the game. I’d like our chances.
