Defensive promise... and a bowl streak!

I had some thoughts last night on Mizzou’s 27-24 win over Iowa. But I’m not done yet!

One of the moments that struck me during Mizzou’s come-from-behind victory over Iowa last night was Toriano Pride, Jr.’s interception.

Granted, that’s not a shocker. It came at a pivotal point for the defense, when Iowa was driving to make it a two-score game. And the pick itself was a show-stopper, with Pride leaping over the receiver to snag Sullivan’s wayward pass.

But the style of the play wasn’t why I was impressed. Rather, it was the fact that it happened at all.
