Missouri might be a more extreme version of last year's "great defense, timely offense" squad

His line only sometimes chose to block for him. His receivers dropped at least six passes. He threw his requisite pair of "WTF WAS THAT, MATY??" passes, both of which were picked. Maty Mauk's awful passing line -- 16-for-36, 148 yards, 3 TD, 2 INT -- was well-earned, if not completely by him.

And when it was time to seize the game, Mauk went 5-for-7 for 70 yards and two scores. He delivered a beautiful ball to Wesley Leftwich, who responded with a beautiful catch and a 32-yard TD that tied the game. He escaped pressure and dumped the ball off at the last second to Sean Culkin, who ran faster than I've ever seen him for a 21-yard go-ahead score.
