Mizzou won the field position battle, finished every scoring chance in the end zone (thanks to that whole “only score via big play” thing), got a smidgen of turnovers luck, and created bigger big plays. All the things the Tigers needed to do against South Carolina, they did in a blowout loss. Cool, cool. And with those points/opportunity averages, the Kentucky game would have been about 30 points in Mizzou’s favor. Cool, cool, cool.
I actually expected that first quarter success rate to be closer
Missouri’s defense sold out on the interior, and it produced some decent early results against the run.
