From their military tribute uniforms to playing of Kenny Loggins’ “Danger Zone,” before the game, Missouri football seemed committed to the Top Gun aesthetic for Saturday’s match up against Florida. The end result, however, was decidedly less high-flying.
After more than a month on the road, Missouri hoped a return to Faurot Field would spark some life on both sides of the ball. Much like the past few weeks, however, only the defense seemed to respond.
After allowing a 47-yard field goal on the first drive of the game, Missouri’s defense put Florida in a chokehold they wouldn’t escape for another two quarters.
