1. Don't get a touchdown.

Missouri settles for a field goal on the second drive after 20 plays and 72 yards. That drive took 10:55.
It was third and seven to start the second quarter and Cook had Schrader open and possibly may have been able to hit Mookie Cooper in the end zone.

2. Milton drops a dime for a 46-yard touchdown.

Joe Milton just casually throwing 46-yard touchdown passes. Cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine was in coverage. I mean what a pass. Tip your hat to Milton and the receiver Dont'e Thornton for the pitch and catch. Abrams-Draine was pretty close in coverage but it was a better play by the offense.

3. Cody Schrader is a beast.

With 11:45 left in the second quarter, Schrader already has three receptions for 93 yards. I mean, this guy the last two or three games has been the best offensive player. Now, Burden has been facing double and triple teams. He has a slight limp at times. He's banged up. But Schrader has picked up the slack.

Later in the drive, he scored a seven-yard touchdown.

4. Ennis Rakestraw and Ty'Ron Hopper go down with injuries.

Star cornerback Ennis Rakestraw is down with an apparent injury. Next play linebacker Ty'Ron Hopper goes down.

Rakestraw went down with 9:49 left in the second quarter and Hopper went down 20 seconds later.

Rakestraw seems to be fine. Hopper limped off to the locker room. So, no Chad Bailey and no Ty'Ron Hopper. Not good.

Hopper's replacement, Triston Newson did have a pretty good tackle for loss on quarterback Joe Milton to force a third down.

5. Pressure getting to Cook.

Tennessee has three sacks at the 4:30 mark of the second quarter. Tennessee is top 10 in the nation in sacks. So, it's hardly a surprise but if you're a Mizzou fan you'd hope the Tigers limit that a bit more.

6. Kris Abrams-Draine forces turnover.

So, he got his lick back after the touchdown. He forced a big fumble in the red zone and it was recovered by linebacker Chuck Hicks.

Important to note: Rakestraw was grabbing at his groin on the play as he was going to the sideline. It's plagued him for a couple of months now.

Schrader has a 35-yard play on the next play from scrimmage and the Tigers get into field goal range for a field goal by Harrison Mevis from 46 yards out.
