Opinion: A Nightmare in Missouri

The Idaho Vandals took a humiliating 68-14 loss to the Missouri Tigers, including a horrific first half that most Vandal fans would like to forget.

From the opening kickoff there had been murmurs that Idaho may have been able to do the improbable and pull out a win against an SEC team on the road, and after the first few minutes it seemed they may be in for a close game.

On the first play of the game Missouri quarterback Drew Lock threw an interception to Idaho defensive back Armond Hawkins. This led to good field position for the Vandals, and led to an early touchdown pass from quarterback Matt Linehan to Kaden Ellis to give the Vandals an early seven-point lead to begin the game.
