The near-misses that kept Missouri from upsetting No. 2 Georgia

Missouri lost to second-ranked Georgia 43-29 on Saturday, a game marred by two Missouri mistakes that resulted in non-offensive touchdowns by Georgia. Here are the controversial plays that kept Missouri at an arm’s length from the Bulldogs all game.

The play: Missouri football, 3rd-and-9 from the Georgia 40, under 10 minutes remaining in the first quarter

What happened: Drew Lock pass complete to Albert Okwuegbunam for nine yards, fumbled and recovered by Georgia CB Tyson Campbell, returned 64 yards for a touchdown

The result: Georgia leads 7-0, 9:01 1Q

The controversy: Should the play have been blown dead for forward progress?
