Beyond the Box Score: Whompin’

There are many ways that an offense can move the ball but, for my money, the most entertaining is moving at a fast tempo and throwing the ball a lot. It’s fun, it’s exciting, it puts up big points, and its what lead Mizzou to unprecedented success in the late 2000’s. That will always be my preference.

But I can also appreciate other styles of offense, especially when executed well. And, against Mississippi State, Mizzou went full Cro-Magnon and beat the Bulldogs over the head with a battery of run plays.

It is oddly satisfying to watch an offense hand it off 50+ times with no issue.
