So obviously the bad news of the day is that Mizzou won’t have a chance to build any momentum against Vanderbilt this weekend. Let’s just rip that band-aid off and then not focus on it anymore.
The good news of the day? Everyone loves Mizzou’s shiny new QB! After a 400+ yard and 4 touchdown performance against LSU, Bazelak was awarded a number of distinctions including, most notably, SEC Freshman of the Week.
At 85.3 percent (29-of-34), Bazelak posted Mizzou’s best-ever completion percentage against a ranked opponent or FBS opponent, a mark that is also a Mizzou freshman record and ranks second in school history .
