1st Quarter: Mizzou - Tigers officially have a first-half problem
Mizzou’s heartbreaking 34-30 loss at South Carolina has been diagnosed every way to Sunday on Rock M Nation, and what a shame the Tigers couldn’t hold on for what would have been a defining win after coming from behind twice to take the lead in the fourth quarter.
The defense’s inability to hold the lead late obviously stands out, but to me the game was lost in the first half as the Tigers couldn’t close out drives on offense, and had too many lapses in the secondary that allowed Carolina to post a 21-6 halftime lead.
