Ding Ding! The Mizzou argument that they just, "let off the gas" is sheer bullshit. You mean to tell me they went through the season absolutely obliterating teams and then decide against their bitter rival on a national stage, with a chance to show off, in the 4th quarter, aww let's take it easy. I'm not buying it.

Now I don't have the game on tape or anything, but I seem to remember noticing a blocking adjustment that KU's offensive line made to deal with the pressure Mizzou was getting. I was getting pretty drunk by that point, and correct me if I'm wrong, but up until that safety it seemed like KU's line was redirecting a lot of Mizzou's pressure around the ends leaving the middle open for Reesing to scan the field. I could be wrong.

Missouri won fair and square. They came out like gangbusters on D and KU looked lost on offense in the first half.
