Every good story provides some foreshadowing — not so much that the ending becomes obvious, but just enough to tie everything in a neat bow. Mizzou wrapped up a win over Texas A&M with a sack in the end zone; it obviously wasn’t the last time that would happen in 2007.
After their devastating, 55-10 win over Colorado, Gary Pinkel’s Tigers returned home for Senior Day, playing host to a 6-4 Texas A&M team facing its third ranked opponent in as many weeks.
The Aggies had plenty of talent — Stephen McGee at quarterback, Jorvorskie Lane and Mike Goodson at running back, Martellus Bennett at tight end, Cyril Obiozor and Michael Bennett on defense (plus a freshman by the name of Von Miller) — but were struggling with consistency in Dennis Franchione’s final season in charge.
