#Gophers go for it on fourth down, and KJ Maye overthrows Isaac Fruehcte. Missouri takes over, leading 33-17 with 1:45 remaining.

by JoeChristensen via twitter 1/1/2015 9:07:10 PM
Fourth-down heave to the end zone falls wide. #Mizzou takes over at its 9.

If Minnesota does not look at what Ohio State is doing with their up tempo offense, and creative offensive play, they will never catch up to Ohio State, Michigan State, and now Michigan. Or will they ever be able to compete with the SEC.

by LesStorhaug 1/1/2015 9:06:51 PM
#Gophers go for it on 4th and 8, but don't get the touchdown. Missouri will take over on downs with 1:45 to play. #CitrusBowl

by Minnesota Football via twitter 1/1/2015 9:06:50 PM
Leidner's pass complete to Williams, #Gophers at the MU 8-yard line. #CitrusBowl

by Minnesota Football via twitter 1/1/2015 9:03:57 PM
I think 8-5 is the ceiling for this program and coaching staff.

by LOL 1/1/2015 9:02:08 PM
With that catch, Bud Sasser now has 1,003 receiving yards for the year. He joins Russell Hansbrough (1,084 rushing) over 1K for the season.

by Mizzou Football via twitter 1/1/2015 9:02:04 PM
running the ball down 16. Only in Minnesota

by LOL 1/1/2015 9:01:08 PM
Missouri kickoff goes 22 yards, #Gophers will start at their own 43. #CitrusBowl

by Minnesota Football via twitter 1/1/2015 9:00:23 PM
Extension time for Kill?

by LOL 1/1/2015 8:59:16 PM
At least they got to play in the game. LOL

by LOL 1/1/2015 8:59:13 PM
Never have I seen a staff so incapable of stopping the most simple play in football. The run up the middle.

by LOL 1/1/2015 8:59:06 PM
I knew it. Everyone knows Missouri was going to run it, and take time off the clock. Did Minnesota not realize that? Why did they not load the line? Not a good coaching day for Minnesota.

by LesStorhaug 1/1/2015 8:56:57 PM
actually r q b is playing pretty well other than the some balls you done a lot a nice completion it's just our defense is starting to break down now and can stop the run

by j 1/1/2015 8:56:51 PM
Well, it still was a nice year for the Gophers!

by Hankster 1/1/2015 8:56:46 PM
TOUCHDOWN, BUD SASSER! Hauls in the fade from Maty for a 7-yard TD! With 4:51 left, #Mizzou's up 33-17! http://pbs.twimg.com/media/B6SvCQwCAAAJiln.jpg

by Mizzou Football via twitter 1/1/2015 8:56:46 PM
@wally, Leidner's passing was the least of our concerns today

by LOL 1/1/2015 8:56:40 PM
2 TDs and 2 two-pts ... Anyone? No?

by Chris Carr 1/1/2015 8:56:24 PM
Touchdown, Missouri. PAT is good, #Gophers trail 33-17 with 4:51 to play. #CitrusBowl

by Minnesota Football via twitter 1/1/2015 8:56:11 PM
Baggett's PAT is good. #Mizzou leads the #Gophers 33-17 with 4:51 remaining.

by JoeChristensen via twitter 1/1/2015 8:56:03 PM
Touchdown MU. Ball game. Sloppy, disappointing performance by Gophers. Way too many self-inflicted mistakes.

by chipscoggins via twitter 1/1/2015 8:55:51 PM
Touchdown Missouri. Mauk to Sasser for seven yards.

by JoeChristensen via twitter 1/1/2015 8:55:29 PM
Eight yards rushing in the first quarter... 327 since then.

by Mizzou Football via twitter 1/1/2015 8:54:53 PM
two things: get rid of leidner. he is incapable of throwing the ball downfield. second, get a special teams coach who's competent. special teams have given up three scores today.

by wally248 1/1/2015 8:54:24 PM
Murphy with 69-yard run.

by chipscoggins via twitter 1/1/2015 8:53:38 PM
MARCUS. MURPHY! Takes the first play back from break down the left sideline for 69 yards to the UM 11.

by Mizzou Football via twitter 1/1/2015 8:53:36 PM
Marcus Murphy with a 69-yard run for Missouri.

by JoeChristensen via twitter 1/1/2015 8:53:32 PM
We are getting out-coached.

by Hankster 1/1/2015 8:52:10 PM
At the game rooting on our Golden Gophers! #BWWCitrusBowl http://pbs.twimg.com/media/B6StnbNCUAA7mHa.jpg

This is more of a Citrus-After-Brushing-Your-Teeth Bowl for the #Gophers.

by BenjaminKruse via twitter 1/1/2015 8:51:26 PM
Mortell comes out to punt for the #Gophers, results in a touch back. Missouri will take over at their own 20-yard line. #CitrusBowl

by Minnesota Football via twitter 1/1/2015 8:51:03 PM
#Gophers punt on fourth-and-17, trailing 26-17 with 6:51 remaining.

by JoeChristensen via twitter 1/1/2015 8:50:57 PM
Nah, just punt it because it's too hard. Minnesota should just give up on sports because they're too hard.

by LOL 1/1/2015 8:50:52 PM
#DLineZou goes crazy again. Golden & Augusta sack Leidner, then Loud gets a hurry to force the punt. 6:51 to go. #BWWCitrusBowl

by Mizzou Football via twitter 1/1/2015 8:50:46 PM
At least he didn't fumble again...

by LOL 1/1/2015 8:49:22 PM
Will Minnesota coaches ever realize that the end of the first half is a time to try and score not give up because you're scared?

by LOL 1/1/2015 8:48:57 PM
Where is Minnesota's urgency? They are behind. And Cobb up the middle, time to drop that play.

by LesStorhaug 1/1/2015 8:48:52 PM
Leidner complete to Maxx Williams for a first down at the Missouri 41. #CitrusBowl

by Minnesota Football via twitter 1/1/2015 8:48:38 PM
I've never seen a defense have more trouble with run plays up the middle. This is not the first time this season they've had issues with this.

by LOL 1/1/2015 8:47:13 PM
#Gophers start their drive with a pass to Cobb, then pack to Leidner for a 9-yard gain. 2nd and 1 at the Minnesota 45. #CitrusBowl

by Minnesota Football via twitter 1/1/2015 8:46:51 PM
Wisconsin wins, Minnesota loses. Usually how it works.

by LOL 1/1/2015 8:46:48 PM
It's Minnesota sports. What did we expect?

by LOL 1/1/2015 8:45:48 PM
That 78-yard scamper is Hansbrough's career-long, and ties the @BWWCitrusBowl record set in 1978.

by Mizzou Football via twitter 1/1/2015 8:45:02 PM
I have been a hater, but Mitch playing awesome today. #gophers

by doeyjavis via twitter 1/1/2015 8:08:48 PM
Long KO return and pass have Tigers backed up to their 20, but Golden & Co. get a TFL to bring up 3rd & long.

by Mizzou Football via twitter 1/1/2015 8:08:42 PM
Who is this quarterback the Gophers picked up for today? #Gophers

by Adam Cuff via twitter 1/1/2015 8:08:40 PM
Leidner to Maye! 20-yard gain for 1st and 10 at the Missouri 23. #CitrusBowl
