Not many people expected a Missouri team that went 5-5 against an all-SEC schedule in 2020 to be sitting where they are entering week ten of the 2021 season. As coach Eliah Drinkwitz suggested a couple weeks ago, perhaps Missouri overachieved last season, and perhaps he got the fans a little too excited for this 2021 campaign.
It appears that was the truth, as the Tigers now sit at 4-4 with their only Power 5 win coming against Vanderbilt (barely).
Any Missouri fan that has watched a game this season knows exactly what the main culprit for this disappointing campaign has been.
