Missouri executed its first drive against Alabama to perfection with a six-play drive that ended in a touchdown to Brett Norfleet for 26 yards. It was time for the defense to go to work.
Missouri has two shots to get off the field, but shot themselves in the foot with penalties like offsides in the red zone and a taunting penalty that has the Crimson Tide and an automatic first down after a stop on third down. The defense is simply making mistakes that the Tigers can't afford to have against a team like Alabama.
The latest mistake for the defense, potentially the most costly, was Marvin Burks Jr.
