Sometimes games aren't defined by overall themes throughout. Singular moments can make a team pay the ultimate price.
That team on Saturday was almost the Mizzou Tigers.
The time of possession at halftime was 18:01-11:59 in favor of Mizzou. Two individual breakdowns in secondary coverage led to South Carolina holding a 14-12 lead at the half, despite seeing the field for blank minutes and blank seconds less than Eli Drinkwitz's offense.
In Mizzou's 29-20 win against the Gamecocks, the good ultimately won the game, but the bad almost lost it.
The good? By the end, a vast advantage of the total yardage on offense, 456-293, and a pure domination on the ground.
