Thomas Castellanos stood behind two receivers placed in an unconventional formation behind the offensive line. A quiet cadence and silent snap count allotted him a tunnel vision to center Drew Kendall, but a misinterpretation of the count forced Kendall into a snap while Castellanos wasn't looking.

Reed Harris had been one of the backfield options before he broke through Missouri's bull rush.
