It’s never fun to lose but one loss certainly doesn’t eliminate all of Missouri’s goals for this season.
From the head man to the selected players that spoke after the game, each was 100% on script when they said they still had the entire SEC East to play and they could use the loss to get better for those games.
And that’s true! The ‘07 and ‘13 squads took losses and still were one game away from a national championship appearance.
I don’t think anyone thought this team would go undefeated, but the potential for a memorable season is still here, starting with beating an unofficial SEC rival that has owned Mizzou over the past 8 years.
