Had some time to rewatch the 2nd half.

Here is what stood out

Case Cook made a lot of mistakes, that last hold was a killer

You can't tell me Crockett conclusively stepped out, absolutely ridiculous overturn. Crockett got hosed on the unsportsmanlike, how the referees didnt call that on both players after how the game had gone was absurd.

Lock was not accurate at all once the rain started. The fumbled snap on the 3 yard line was also a killer. There was multiple other miscues between Lock and the RBs, he turned multiple times the wrong way.

Secondary is bad. Really soft coverage is trying to mask how bad it is but we dropped 8 and their TEs were still wide open. We have the worst zone defense I've ever seen.

People calling for DTs at the end position actually got that in the 4th quarter. Beckner was the outside of the 3 down linemen. William's appeared to be hurt in the 4th and could be a reason the DL was gassed at the end. They didnt seem to sub almost at all on the last drive and all of the guys looked gas. With that said we actually got decent pressure in the 4th Quarter and the USC QB made quite a few mistakes. Last 2 passes that USC completed to win the game were both on the secondary not being able to cover at all.

Mizzou is really going to miss T. Hall next year. He was a tackling machine. Biggest question mark on this team next year besides QB with be the OLBs.

Last 2 games the biggest issue has been the defense can't get a stop in the 2nd half when it needs one. Multiple 3rd and 4th downs Mizzou's defense just fell a part giving USC easy conversions. If this team wants to win they need to figure out how to make a big play (Acy dropped INT).
