COLUMBIA, Mo. -- Eli Drinkwitz and the Missouri coaching staff decided in the closing seconds of a back-and-forth affair with Kansas State on Saturday that if the Tigers crossed midfield and reached the 40-yard line, they would give Harrison Mevis a chance to kick the winning field goal.
Missouri made it to the Kansas State 38 and quarterback Brady Cook spiked the ball to stop the clock.
Then that same coaching staff inexplicably lost track of time on the sideline, and the delay of game penalty pushed the field goal attempt back 5 yards.
