Supports. Source 0 reports Missouri's undisciplined penalties in the Kansas win, with four false starts in the first half, and Drinkwitz called them a problem.[1]
Context. Source 7 says Missouri had been flagged 32 times through four games, with most flags on offense, which shows a continuing penalty pattern across the season.[2]
Context. No provided source covers Missouri's first game of the 2026 season, so the claim that errors occurred in that game cannot be checked.
Context. No provided source mentions bad snaps for Missouri in any game, so that element of the claim is not supported.
