Mizzou was able to stop the run game due to their stunting DLs & LBs AND their stud safety trailing Wilson successfully.
Go back two years to our BIG win 15-14 and Snell was unable to run then either. The last series that resulted in the win included to great catches by a walk-on WR to even reach midfield - I forget his name. Without the punt return by Bowden, we only had a TD and FG, just like this year.
Two years ago, we stopped their O with Drew Lock without a first down for eight straight series - that was our 10-3 team. This team is good, but not good enough against Mizzou last night. Especially without Q. I was impressed by our defense's play, but they could not get off the field.
All that being said, they got an extra 6 points and we missed Bowden's punt return
