Of meaningless goal line stands, starters and frivolous timeouts

Today we’re talking about a stupid goal line stand.

I debated leaving this be, but what the hell, if nobody agrees with me on this take, at least it’ll serve as therapeutic to get it off my chest.

In Mizzou’s dismal 34-0 loss at Alabama last Saturday, the Tigers had a prime scoring opportunity in the final five minutes of the game to avoid the scarlet letter of a shutout. After a day of ineffectiveness by the Mizzou offense, the Tigers mounted a nice drive that started at its own 10-yardline and reached the Alabama 7-yardline where they achieved 1st-and-goal with a little over six minutes to play.
