COLUMBIA, Mo. • Only a masochist would rewatch Saturday’s 10-3 Missouri loss at Vanderbilt, but I treated tortured myself to a second viewing on Monday to explore the Tigers’ offensive issues, of which many continue to exist.
But first, some national rankings that show just how unique this season has become. Keep in mind, there are 128 FBS teams and 65 teams in power conferences, plus Notre Dame.
First, the Missouri defense:
Total defense: No. 10/No. 8 power conferences, 282.1 yards per game
Scoring defense: No. 5/No. 4, 12.5 points per game
Pass defense: No.
