mizzou's are generally nut kickers from 5th down as a little kid to the kicked ball game against neb in 1997 to losing to south carolina in double overtime in 2013 after doinking a chip shot fg. coughed up a 2 td lead in the 4q to get to the ot. i was at the sc game - figured our chances to get to the ccg were out the window but we ended up winning out & getting there. the cotton bowl ending that yr is the best one that we've won as far as wild finishes go. this strip sack returned for a td with like a min left turned a precarious 3 point lead with okst driving into a game clinching win:
VIDEO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1w59xW8I3Q there was also a very weird game against fla in 2014. we had no offense....119 yards to be exact yet won 42-13. they had a boatload of turnovers. mizzou ran a kickoff back for a td, punt back for a td, fumble recovery returned for a td & a pick six. it was bizarre. the box score:
https://www.espn.com/college-football/matchup/_/gameId/400548362 there was another game in the barry odom era down there where mizzou blew them out which was strange just b/c we were mediocre at best. felt twilight zonish b/c i think they were ranked at the time. 2017-2018ish.
at no point in either of the above fla games did i think we were actually significantly better than them but in each instance there we were kicking the **** out of them anyway.
we had a game in 2010 against san diego st that was pretty meh but the ending was wild. it used to be online but i can't find anything now. anyway we were playing like poop sdst scored with like a min to play to take the lead. tj moe caught a short pass & took it up the sideline. their safety took a disastrous angle & 65+ yards later we escaped embarrassment.

nwms has played in a ton of them i attended live. this is the wildest game winning drive i've ever seen live (our radio guy has the personality of dried paint, it be what it be):
VIDEO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yt01crClbuU we were playing the next best team in our league at their place - they were very good. we were trailing 16-14 with less than 2 min to play, hadn't done much offensively all day & needed a gw fg from a kicker who at the time had been a disaster all season. he routinely missed extra points & short fg's let alone longer ones. the drive started with a sack. we managed to recover & get an initial first down which was followed by a hook & ladder play that got us the bulk of the yards on that drive & across midfield. on 3rd down with no timeouts left & the clock running under 30 seconds we gained like 7-8 yards & were in range for a 45 yrd fg. nbd for a competent kicker but for this dude is an obv no go. at the time watching from the stands i figured we'd just line up & throw it in the end zone - he was that bad & we had guys that could go up & get the ball. well we ran the fg team onto the field - a legit fire drill - & he made a career long kick to clinch the conference championship. i of course was stunned. his issues up to that point in the season were apparently mental b/c he was great after that & was all conf the following season iirc. i think the fire drill helped him b/c there was no time to think - we snapped the ball with like 2-3 seconds on the clock. we met them again in the playoffs & won easily.
in college we won a division 2 national championship in 4 overtimes after scoring 30 points in the 4th quarter that included two 2-point conversions to force ot. it is the best fball game i have ever seen, wouldn't know where to start with that circus.
greg zuerlein is or was a very good nfl kicker. he might still be in the league idk. anyway, he transfers to our rival for his sr season. i didn't know who he was or that he was any good. division 2 kickers are typically sketch. so we're playing them in a competitive game in 2011 (they were very good that yr). he kicked a 53yrd fg early in the game that surprised me but whatev. that mofo lined up for & made a 58 yrd fg that had plenty of room to spare at the end of the 3q that proved to be the winning margin. needless to say i googled him after that. we met again the playoffs & avenged that loss in another wild game.

i remember watching that crazy 7 ot game between ole miss & arkansas live.
in 2003 california played kstate in one of those kickoff classic type games so it was a week before either of my schools played. the game was at arrowhead which is a 35min drive from where i lived at the time so a friend & i bought tix through the cal site & sat with a bunch of their players family members at the 50yrd line. cal is starting some guy nobody would remember & they were going to platoon him with a juco who turned out to be aaron rodgers. the cal guy is decent but no hall of famer. ar comes into the game for his first drive & throws a missile down the seam for like 20 yrds & i look at my buddy & we're like
"who the heck is this guy?!"
a couple passes later we were like
"they need to start this guy & punt this platoon nonsense".
kst won easily but rodgers had a great game. cal could have had a chance in a shootout imo if they'd started & played him the whole game.
