Last year, Missouri adjusted its offensive philosophy in the middle of the season, adapting a more run-heavy approach, doing its defense some serious favors, and winning six games in a row to wrap up the regular season with another SEC title.
Feels like longer than a year ago, huh? With all that has (and hasn't) happened on the field this fall, and with all that has happened OFF the field (from Maty Mauk's suspensions to Concerned Student 1950), time has ceased making sense.
Regardless, any attempt Missouri wanted to make this year involving a focus on the run died on the vine when Russell Hansbrough got hurt, understudy Ish Witter proved unready, and the offensive line forgot how to open holes for whoever was carrying the ball.
