Mizzou football’s new season within the season

“The sky is not falling.”

One, correct. The sky is, in fact, not falling. Two, and more importantly, this quote from Eli Drinkwitz needs context.

Last Saturday proved to be an inflection point for the Tigers. Any semblance of a Mizzou hype train got run out of College Station; Texas A&M dominated everything, everywhere, all the time. Conner Weigman thoroughly outplayed Brady Cook, who was also under siege for most of the afternoon; both things can be true. Texas A&M generated 16 pressures; Mizzou only had four. On “big” plays — runs of 10+ yards and passes of 15+ yards — the Aggies had 15, including a 75-yard touchdown run by Le’Veon Moss on the first play of the second half.
