Missouri still has plenty to play for in 2015, but the future tense is happier than the present

Usually, the nuance comes. I'll pick up on little, individually successful or unsuccessful matchups. Or maybe a unit's success or lack thereof is different than in previous weeks, even if story lines remain similar.

But Florida's win over Missouri on Saturday night lacked nuance. It was hard to look for shades of gray -- Mizzou's defense was quite a bit better than Florida's offense (especially after the first quarter), and Florida's defense was much, much better than Missouri's offense (especially after the first drive). Offense bad, defense good: the story of 2015.

Florida ended up winning because the Gators had two successful drives before the Mizzou D took over, and Missouri's offense managed only one.
