I don’t think this decision is getting enough scrutiny. Early in the game, this is a tone-setter type of call. Down 10-7, you just went 13 plays for 91 yards. At 3rd and 1 you should be going with the mindset I have two tries to pick up 1 yard and set up 1st and goal. It makes me think Drink and co don’t trust this offense or the staff is playing not to lose as opposed to playing to win. I wonder if the decision not to go for it shook the offense’s confidence.
If they punch it in there and Eli doesn’t go braindead at the end of half (all else holds true) Mizzou is up 27-10 late in the 3rd and the perception is a lot different.
