It’s easy to forget, but last season was actually going pretty well at one point. Sure the Wyoming loss happened, but that game featured a wild 2nd quarter which was enough to doom Mizzou. The team recovered, however. They dominated some questionable teams, but did so in really convincing fashion. They were 5-1 and ranked 22nd in the country. Their star transfer quarterback, Kelly Bryant, was dinged up, but he was able to play against Ole Miss and was effective. Surely a trip to Vanderbilt would keep the momentum going.
Vandy was 1-5, and the one win was eked out over Northern Illinois.
