Missouri Tigers

Absolutely nothing worked for Mizzou, as Drew Lock completed only 17 of his 37 passes and the team’s rushing attack failed top top 100 yards. They also played as much defense as your local peewee team, so there isn’t much positive to take away from this one.

Impact Moving Forward

-Negativity snowball forming

No, Missouri was not expected to win this game. No, the Tigers were not expected to put up a ton of offense this year. Yes, Barry Odom was expected to continue to have a great defense. No, fans cannot continue to say that after the drubbing his defense received at the hands of LSU. If Missouri can’t play defense against a fairly one-dimensional attack, it is going to be quite a long year for Odom. Missouri simply has to be better on defense.
