When the going gets tough, Missouri’s offense has struggled to get going.
In the Tigers’ two losses this season where they entered the final quarter of action either tied or ahead, they’ve been outscored 14-0 over the final 15 minutes of both matchups.
Late game struggles first struck Mizzou on the road against Mississippi State back in September. Facing another tight battle, the issue reappeared Saturday as MU entered the fourth quarter tied 20-20 against Texas.
The Tigers had four offensive drives in the final quarter. They ended in a pair of punts, a game-sealing fumble and a late turnover on downs.
