It wasn’t perfect, but it wasn’t a nailbiter either. Missouri handled Memphis for an easy win, and never really needed to shift into high-gear. They left some yards and points on the table, and have some things they need to clean up. But it was never a real sweat, either.
It is a sign of the team’s talent and depth that they are able to do that. It is a sign of their potential that they can play their B-game against a top-40 team and still win by a comfortable margin.
It is also a sign of future losses when the talent margins get slimmer (or into the red) coming up in conference play, if they can not clean things up and play more sound football.
