I’m not sure how Mizzou recovers from this loss, but it will be at least two more weeks until the Tigers sniff an opportunity to win, with Alabama up next. For now, the Tigers’ hold a record of 3-2, but that will be short-lived. Looking at the quality of opponents and wins so far, it’s easy to understand why fans feel despondent.
Clearly, the Tigers missed their deep threat in Emanuel Hall, and complement in Nate Brown, but the Tigers still made things work – sort of – with the trio of Johnathon Johnson, Albert Okwuegbunam, and Jalen Knox serving as Lock’s primary passing targets.
