The game changed with Zion Young's taunting penalty

[winonsports]

This was a great thread.

It was started by a poster who hasn't been on the forum, along with many others, while Mizzou was winning.

And sprinkled with comments from those who have been eager to see Mizzou lose.

It was a play in the first quarter.

It wasn't a turnover at the goal line

The play where Speedy Johnson was open downfield with nobody near him and Pribula threw the ball way over his head and out of bounds. We lost by 3 points and that would have been 7. That was the difference.

I told my wife when it happened that it changed the tone of the game. Yes it was still very early but the tigers could have gotten the ball back (it would have been 3rd and about 13) in decent field position and they had just scored pretty easily on their first drive. When playing top teams you just can't afford many mistakes especially the mental ones!

It would have been 3rd and 15. We had them where we wanted them and Young bailed them out.

He did.

And btw, you are obviously welcome here to post any time you like.

The issue is that the penalty for 'taunting' is more subjective than the call for targeting - blue bloods taunt and trash talk all the time and no issue. Even on MU's home field they get homered by the SEC with [nonsense] calls - have to expect the homering and try to play above.

I witnessed some bias with the SEC refs in this game.
There were more than a few occasions where the refs completely ignored "holding" or "face mask" penalties on the Crimson Tide.
It happens all the time in Mizzou sports and it happened again in this game.
I witness many fouls by opposing teams against Mizzou in basketball and they do not get called.
This is definitely a pattern of behavior by the refs.
Unfortunately, I saw it again yesterday.
I also notice that Jesse Palmer and Joe Tessitore were so bias against Mizzou in this game.
Too many people within the SEC higher echelon are so bias against Mizzou succeeding.
Just my opinion.
SEC should have "reviewers" looking at officiating" after key games and point out mistakes by referees.
These refs should be called out and suspended a few games until they realize their mistakes and get it right going forward.

You could say that on any play someone doesn't do their job so as usual you have no idea what you're talking about. Those are called errors of commission. They happen to everyone.

Errors of ommission is what the idiot did. A selfish look at me [nonsense] act and if you don't know the difference then you obviously never played a team sport.

It would have been 3rd and 15. We had them where we wanted them and Young bailed them out.

If you actually watched more than five minutes, then you saw that 3-15 wasn't going to faze Simpson.

On the bonehead moment by Young all you have to do is stop them from just walking down the field with ease after we had a bye week and our defensive secondary still giving up big plays. No excuses for Young! That horrible overthrow by Petrula took away momentum also and that's the one that I picked. I don't need your permission for my choice.

Yeah everyone has the right to be wrong.

And as always you are.

Sad you don't know the difference.

It was severely UNDERTHROWN and out of bounds. Pribula, who doesn’t have the greatest arm strength to begin, tried to throw it across his body on the run. He might have had a better shot if he’d stopped and set his feet.

Apparently, I hit a nerve with you. Sorry. I'm not a hater. I love the Tigers. I only post when I have something to say or when I want someone else's opinion. Again, sorry for my objectionable post. If MU would have won, I still would have posted this. Have a good week.

Maybe not. However, at that point, the crowd was juiced, they were backed up in their own zone, and all the momentum was with Mizzou. The odds of success on 3-15 at that point were lower and it’s quite possible, likely, Bama runs the ball and punts. Instead, they gain 15 yards, a first down, some momentum and took the crowd out of the game.

It takes a big man like hockey Jedi to wait seven weeks before Mizzou lost to participate in this forum.

Here's my last Mizzou post before Mizzou lost this weekend. It's on page three of this forum and occurred two weeks ago.

You are awful queer not to research before you post. Hide behind your keyboard warrior.

That's right. I said it.

If you can't overcome a 15 yard penalty early in the first quarter then you'll never win another game.

[Kenny Boy]

I loved the fake punt call. but hated the play they ran. Running to the Defense-loaded short side of the field was a disaster waiting to happen. And it did.

[jcgmoi]

Why fake a punt from your 35 when there's seven minutes left in a three point game?
