The opening drive of the second half started out great and I think going for the 4th down was the right call there. Sad that the drive fizzled out and we even faced 4th, but had we converted that single 4th down... I think the game would have turned into a rout with no turning back.
Not punting from our territory in the third quarter when we had the game in a very manageable multi-score margin enlivened them and facilitated their comeback. We made their job much easier. The error there was self-evident within minutes after it was made.

I agree with this.

Beating a dead horse here, but yeah... going 2 for 5 on 4th down and giving them the ball on our side of the field nearly cost us this game. Frankly, it should have cost us the game, but the offense fought on.

We expect our players to learn. We should expect the same of our coaches. Beamer: CUT IT OUT.

Prior to the game, I posted something along the lines of if we don't help Mizzou with dumb personal foul penalties, going for it on our own end of the field, and turning the ball over giving them a short field and we'll be fine. We did all those things and still won. What do I know?

Beamer has priors.

He's a lot like Les Miles that way. Les became "Less" because he never got over it.

Kirby Smart did some squirrelly stuff his first couple of years at Georgia and got over it, which is when the championships started.

Beamer should take a clue.

What you should take from it is that we were as fortunate as the proverbial multi-penis dog.
