Four Quick Post-Game Thoughts – Mizzou Today: Missouri Tigers Football & Basketball Recruiting

1. WOW, what a game. This went from a terrifying rock fight to the most exciting roller coaster game I’ve seen in a long time. The dynamic fluctuations were simply incredible and I had to rewrite the game’s story a few times.

2. Drew Pyne It ended up playing pretty well. Not incredible, but good enough to get the job done, and that’s all the defense needs at this point. Missouri has a solid defensive unit, near-competent quarterback play is good enough. And Pyne was more than that today.

3. Special teams are still a problem. A missed extra point, a kickoff out of bounds, a kick-catch interference. This needs to be cleaned up.

4. Maybe the season isn’t over yet if Pyne has to keep playing. He obviously found some rhythm and made several throws where my first thought was, “Wow, that’s the best ball I’ve ever seen him throw.” Then he did it again, and a third time.

And a fifth just for fun.

5. Congratulations, Mizzou fans. You just beat Oklahoma. It was a bad Oklahoma team, but that doesn’t matter. The series is revived with a Tiger win.
