THIS CLOSE

JARED LANKFORD Time to retire the coin flip advantage t was Nov. 9, 1997, a game that haunts Missouri football Ifans still to this very day. No. 1 Nebraska rolled into Columbia and was on the verge of being upset by the upstart Tigers when a ball was kicked by Cornhusker receiver Shevin Wiggins and caught by receiver Matt Davidson to send the game into overtime. The Missouri fans thought they had won (I still hold that the kick was illegal and Mizzou should have been awarded the victory) and began to rush the field. After the pandemonium was quelled, overtime ensued and, with the momentum gone, Nebraska scored and Mizzou did not, in what turned into one of the most crushing losses in Tigers history. A few years later, Mizzou Coach Larry Smith was asked if Kyren Postlewait drives past a Monett defender on Monday. Jared Lankford/[email protected] he had any regrets. Smith said if he had it to do over again, he would have elected to send the Tiger offense on the field in overtime instead of his defense.

Lankford/[email protected] that the Chiefs had their equal chance to win the game is shortsighted. The main argument for the current system is that the 5 Purdy athletes earn Lady Wildcats bring home honors Chiefs’ defense had a chance to stop New England, making the Academic All-State overtime session an equitable venture for both teams. While it is true the Patriots converted third-and-9 and third-and-10 on the drive, it was not an equitable exchange. Kansas City would have had to stop New England and still drive the ball to get in scoring position. That meant they needed to take two steps to win as opposed to the Patriots one to win. Citing player safety, the NFL shortened the length of the overtime period in the regular season to 10 minutes. But during the playoffs, the time is moved back to 15 min- utes.
