If you would have told me two weeks ago that Missouri could realistically win every game on its schedule after the Georgia game, I would have laughed at you. For three straight weeks, Missouri played uninspired football and left much to be desired. A 28-point loss in Manhattan, a 14-point win against FCS team ACU, and a heartbreaker against Auburn didn’t necessarily spark much optimism.
Last week, however, that changed. The Tigers easily played their best game of the year, going toe to toe with the no. 1 team in the country, while retaining a lead for 3 and a half quarters.
