Despite the win, penalties prove to be a problem for Missouri

Almost everything went right for Missouri in its homecoming win over Memphis.

The offense put up 646 all-purpose yards, the defense totaled two interceptions four pass breakups and seven quarterback hurries, and Corey Fatony even got to celebrate another patented 50-yard punt. In a 32-point victory, there isn’t really much to gripe about.

The one negative that stands out, though, is the amount of penalties called on the Tigers.

Missouri was flagged for 12 penalties totaling 122 yards throughout the game, gifting Memphis more opportunities to drive down field that it otherwise wouldn’t have had.

“We haven’t been anywhere close to that (many penalties),” head coach Barry Odom said.
