I’ve been a little down on Mizzou the last couple of weeks. I’m not sure why, but I think like many of you, I also had higher expectations than I realized. Somewhere between “eternal optimist” and “Debbie-downer,” you will find my spirit for this year’s Tigers team.
First, let’s spend a little time on losses. So far, the Tigers have lost two games – we’re well aware. Within those two games, what has caused Mizzou to meltdown?
Against Georgia and South Carolina, the Tigers’ defensive secondary was obliterated. While the score was much closer at South Carolina, the secondary allowed the Gamecocks to put 37 points on the board.
