Arkansas was the first team that Missouri had played in over a month that wasn’t riddled with COVID, was motivated to win, and better than the Tigers. And it showed.
With a backup quarterback and a backup running back, the Razorbacks thrashed the Missouri defense worse than any other team has done so far. Arkansas played nothing like their season stats had indicated: excellent in the run game, dynamite success rates, connected on big plays...and was a total sieve on defense as well.
Missouri’s best attribute this season, other than its resilience, is its adaptability. LSU sucked them into a shoot out and Mizzou responded in kind.
