Post-game: Five takeaways from Mizzou’s 34-14 win over South Carolina

Missouri’s run defense was absolutely gashed in the first game of the season against Wyoming. The Cowboys ran for 297 yards on 7.1 yards per carry. West Virgnina, SEMO and South Carolina combined to rush for 86 yards on 88 carries.

In fact, the Gamecocks’ 16 rushing yards were the fewest allowed by the Tigers in a game in nearly a decade.

But it doesn’t stop there. The Tigers also have 7 takeaways over the last three weeks, including two that directly resulted in touchdowns Saturday against South Carolina.

Oh, and remember when Missouri’s defense struggled to get off the field on third down?
