Watch the video above as Missouri football reporters Joey Van Zummeren and Michael Stamps give their thoughts on Missouri's decision to attempt a field goal on two fourth-and-shorts in the red zone in the loss to Oklahoma.

Missouri was within just two possessions for the entirety of the second half against Oklahoma, putting the Tigers in realistic position to take control of the game. But the writing was really on the wall after two decisions Missouri made in the first half. Or rather, decisions it didn't make. Even with a stagnant offense, Missouri managed to take three trips into the red zone in the first half. Those three trips resulted in just six points. On the opening drive, Missouri faced a fourth-and-6 and decided to attempt a field goal to take a 3-0 lead, an underwhelming but still fine result and decision for what was arguably the Tigers' most efficient drive of the game. But on the two other trips, Missouri settled for a field goal on a fourth-and-3. One came at the 3-yard line. Had Missouri's offense been an efficient operation all season, the conservative decision making would make more sense. But that has not at all been the case, and was especially not on Saturday.Missouri Swim and Dive - Mizzou Invitational Missouri diving had a podium sweep during the second day of the Mizzou Invitational.
