That was definitely the turning point, but NU was hardly in control,
never having led the game.

It wasn't just the secondary. The rush ends didn't have containment
on several big plays. Still, the defense handed the offense a couple
of its scores. The offense didn't mount a sustained scoring drive after
the first quarter. After the first quarter, outside the two times
the defense gave the offense the ball inside Missouri's 10, NU's drives
went punt, punt, punt, punt, interception, fumble, interception, punt,
punt, end of game.
