Quick takeaways from an exhausting, frustrating 40-37 Missouri win over Purdue

Call me a sunshine pumper, but let’s start with something good.

Doesn’t it feel good to be critical, to be frustrated, to be exhausted after a Missouri game — and then realize it was a Missouri win? Over the last few years, this is the kind of game which Missouri has lost, and often, lost badly.

Instead, Missouri gave up 614 yards which included FIVE HUNDRED SEVENTY-TWO through the air... and it won. It won because, despite some hiccups along the way, it had balance on offense, and a little luck on defense at the end, when Jared Sparks’ touchdown catch was overturned.
