Beyond The Box Score: Win Your Clunkers

The Revue: The sacking of Troy… no, the bad one
Y’all, I was desperate to compare Mizzou’s game against Troy to the recent The Odyssey adaptation. Not that I’m desperate to discuss The Odyssey at length in a vacuum.

Where Mizzou’s defense bent against Troy and why it matters this weekend
How’s everyone feeling after Saturday? Despite improving to 3-0, the level of confidence coming away from Mizzou’s 27-17 victory over Troy is a night-and-day difference from the feeling coming out of Lawrence a week ago. Yes, the Tigers did what they were supposed to do. But as a 27.5-point favorite, they were outgained 323-230. The […]

Both Sides of Passing Game Falter in Mizzou’s Pyrrhic Victory Over Troy
Mizzou’s final non-conference game of the season was about as nightmarish as it could get. The 27-17 win felt more like a loss with a 4-0 Mississippi State team looming.
