In college football on Saturday afternoon, the Kentucky Wildcats got by the Missouri Tigers 21-17 in controversial fashion at Faurot Field in Columbia.
The play in question occurred with 2 1/2 minutes remaining, as Missouri was penalized for roughing the punter at the 4-yard line, giving UK possession back and a first down. The Wildcats then ran out all but 38 seconds off the clock.
The roughing the punter call came after the ball was snapped over the head of Kentucky punter Colin Goodfellow, who chased the ball down and got the punt off just before he was tackled by linebacker Will Norris. Goodfellow was injured on the play and carted off the field.
Here is MU head coach Eli Drinkwitz in postgame remarks to Chris Gervino of the Tiger Radio Network:
Drinkwitz noted the Tigers only converted 2 of 13 third down attempts throughout the defensively dominated game.
