Missouri relies on luck for first score
Missouri got into the endzone for the first time via a 27-yard slant to Maclin. The play never should have happened. On a third-and-two around the 25 yard line, Missouri lined up with only a center and two guards. The rest of the line was lined up far to the right. Washington caught a screen pass and didn't convert the third down, but luckily for the Tigers, they were flagged for illegal formation.
For some reason, Stoops decided to push Missouri back five yards and let them try again. That's when Maclin took it to the house. It put Missouri back in the game, but please, that play call was embarrassing. If Missouri wants to be a true Big 12 power house, it must stop running gadget plays in crucial situations. Being Boise State isn't the image it should be going for. It's time for the Tigers to man up and win a game with confidence, not trickery.
