We were never going to learn anything good about Missouri in a game against Abilene Christian. That’s not how these games work. Either we learn nothing and we all move on to Auburn week, or we learn something and the thought of having to face Auburn sends chills down your spine.
This performance felt like the latter.
It’s hard to describe how Missouri played in the first half. Pedestrian. Flat. Uninspired. Dispiriting. Those are a few of the words that come to mind. This teams should never look like that against an FCS opponent. This is supposed to be a game in which you play your backups for the majority of the second half.
