COLUMBIA, Mo. — In the not-too-distant past, Missouri found catharsis in a game-deciding field goal make. On Saturday, relief came from a miss.
The made kick in question was a defining moment of Mizzou’s breakout 2023 season: Harrison Mevis, good from 61 yards as time expired to sink Kansas State. That was a game the Tigers weren’t particularly expected to win but managed to.
This year’s field goal attempt of note — this time, an opponent's miss — could become a defining moment in its own right. In the eyes of some, including those in the MU program, it should.
