I’ve never personally seen a python attack its prey. Snakes give me anxiety. But I feel like I saw the closest thing to it by watching Missouri pick apart Kentucky’s defense on Saturday.
The Tigers’ 62 rushing attempts are their most in a single game since 2016. Missouri had possession of the ball for more than 43 minutes of game time. The final score shows 20-10. Anyone who watch the game knows that outside of a three(ish) minute stretch late in the game, that contest never felt close.
But that doesn’t mean the outcome came without questions.
