Missouri was clearly better than Kansas, but the Tigers didn't win by more because they committed like 10 more penalties than KU.

You really think that the penalties constituted more luck than the 2 missed FGs for Kansas and the 2-0 turnover edge enjoyed by Mizzou? I think that Missouri was the better team, but I don't think you can say that they "should have" won by more than they did, if anything it should have been less.

The penalties were worth 140 yards, so yeah, I think that's a huge difference.

Also, they sustained critical KU drives and stalled drives that would have gave MU more points. The refs had a huge impact on the final score here, more than the missed field goals for sure.
