When it comes to Missouri-South Carolina you can expect weird. And the beginning of the game did not disappoint. The Tigers used a batted pass to the South Carolina quarterback, who then caught the ball and threw it to the ground backwards to be recovered by Missouri, to take an early lead. If the play sounded weird enough, it took about 5 minutes to sort through via replay thanks to the original call being an illegal forward pass.
That play was indicative of the kind of half it would be for the offenses. It hasn’t been smooth, but Missouri’s late offensive touchdown showed there’s some life out there after all.
