The reeling Auburn Tigers survived a 17-14 overtime thriller against the Missouri Tigers on Sunday. The word “thriller” in that first sentence is doing a lot because this was one of the most mind-numbingly dumb endings to a football game that you'll see all year.
The game got sent to overtime after a perplexing late-game decision on the part of Mizzou. The visitors seemingly secured the victory in regulation when quarterback Brady Cook completed a 39-yard pass to Dominic Lovett, getting them down to the Auburn three-yard line with 1:01 left. With two timeouts left and the momentum, head coach Eli Drinkwitz elected to run the clock down and kick the field goal instead of going for the killshot. You can guess what happened next.
