i know not many ball coaches would do this, but as soon as Missouri got inside our 15, I was yelling to let them score.

Neither team’s offense could be stopped. At least you get the ball back and have a chance. It’s a heck of a lot better than watching them kneel and a FG go thru the uprights as time expires.

They were probably smart enough not to score. Just keep taking a knee and let the clock run. They made every play they had to.
 
I was yelling the same thing. At that point our chances of losing in regulation were down to basically a missed extra point. I think our chaances of scoring a TD with 2 TOs and about a minute are higher.
