re: Does Missouri have anything going for it?

The most famous was the Colorado 5 downs. They gave them freaking 5 downs at the goal line to score. Supposedly if we won that we would of been National Champs.

All Mizzou would have had was a victory over a then-#1 team who ended up national champs. That, and Bob Stull might have gotten enough traction to turn things around.
However, the shenanigans at the end of that game included that the game clock had some time added to it (for no apparent reason except to give Colorado more time) and the fact that even on the only 5th down in the history of college football, the ballcarrier didn't cross the plane and score. He was clearly a foot short.
