COLUMBIA, MO. • Let’s not get too caught up in a victory over a middling team from the Ohio Valley Conference, but Missouri checked a lot of boxes in Saturday’s 51-14 win over Tennessee-Martin. The new offense scored on eight of its first nine possessions, didn’t come close to turning the ball over and committed just two penalties on 78 plays from scrimmage. The defense tackled well, mostly prevented big plays and made stops on 10 of 14 third downs. The kicking game was clean: 9 of 9 on field goals and PATs and solid in coverage.
