Missouri dismantled Colorado 36-17 on Saturday. Amazingly, it was the Tigers first Big 12 win.
Finally.
Missouri blew chances against Nebraska and Oklahoma State to notch its first win in the conference. Against the Buffaloes, the Tigers made a statement by jumping out to a 33-0 lead. After that, the Tigers looked sluggish at times, but held [...]
Another nationally televised game for the Missouri Tigers brought very familiar results.
The Tigers never even had a chance in Saturday’s homecoming game against Texas. It was embarrassing at times. Colt McCoy made it look like he was playing catch with his buddies in his backyard. It was that easy. To be fair, the Longhorns are [...]
Missouri isn’t used to winning the big game.
After last Saturday, they still aren’t.
Two years ago, the Tigers couldn’t handle Oklahoma. Last year, big games against Oklahoma State, Texas, Kansas, and Oklahoma plagued them. Now, the Tigers can chalk up two more big games they let slip through their fingers—a loss at home against Nebraska and [...]
Through three quarters against the Nebraska Cornhuskers, the Missouri Tigers looked like a team that would not only compete in the Big 12 North, but also like a team that could give Texas a run for the Big 12 championship. How quickly things change.
Leading 12-0 in the fourth quarter, the Tigers defense was smothering the [...]
Is Nebraska football back? While many so-called experts claim that the Cornhuskers (3-1) are back to being a force, I’m not sold on them yet. After all, the Missouri Tigers dismantled the Cornhuskers last season 52-17 in Lincoln. Now, they have a new starting quarterback in Zac Lee. And they are playing the 4-0 Tigers [...]
The Missouri Tigers have cruised to a 3-0 record. Thus far, they have beat three teams that weren’t exactly world-beaters. Now, they must face a Nevada team that is struggling. They are 0-2, losing to both Notre Dame and Colorado State on the road. However, this Wolf Pack team should scare some teams. The Wolf [...]
Close calls are exactly what some teams need. Sneaking out a win against an inferior team isn’t the worst thing that could happen—if that team is truly inferior. The Missouri Tigers barely snuck by Bowling Green last week. MU came into the game ranked No. 25 after dismantling Illinois the previous week. But they looked [...]
Most of the talk surrounding the Missouri football team after last Saturday’s dominating performance over Illinois is centered around Blaine Gabbert, and deservedly so. He was phenomenal. But what may have been the most important aspect of the day was the way the defense performed. After all, Chase Daniel scored plenty of points for the [...]
Isn’t it a great time of year? Cool fall weather is finally upon us and football season is set to begin. This Saturday, burgers and brats will be aplenty outside of the Edward Jones Dome, while crazy college students are waiting to cheer on the Fighting Illini or the Missouri Tigers. Plenty of “smack” talk [...]
A new era in Missouri football is set to begin. Coach Gary Pinkel won’t be able to fall back on Chase Daniel, Jeremy Maclin, Chase Coffman and Co. to save the day. But that doesn’t mean the Tigers will see a significant drop-off . Since the Tigers lost many key performers, this year’s team is [...]
