Confidence in Mizzou’s offense and concerns about Mizzou’s defense formed quite the combination as Missouri beat Missouri State 72-43 in advance of the beginning of SEC play.
Missouri unleashed an offensive juggernaut at Faurot Field Saturday. It was a unit that was scary, scary good, even considering the competition, and Drew Lock was the ringleader.
Lock broke the school single-game passing touchdown record with seven scores through the air, while also breaking Jeff Handy’s 25-year old single-game passing yard record with 521 yards in his best performance in a Mizzou uniform. The Mizzou offense as a whole broke another single-game school record with 815 total yards, including 202 on the ground from tailback Damarea Crockett.
