1. Luther Burden misses the second half.

He wasn’t in on the final drive of the first half and was ruled “unlikely to return” at halftime due to an illness.

We’ll ask Drinkwitz more about that postgame.

2. Theo Wease powering through something to continue to dominate the Bulls.

Wease caught a five-yard pass (his 11th reception) to begin the opening drive of the third quarter. Then, he left the game. He eventually returned later in the third quarter.

He caught a few more passes and entered the fourth quarter with 13 receptions for 149 yards.

The school record for receptions is Justin Gage with 16 for 236 yards versus Bowling Green in 2002.

3. Missouri's defense has Buffalo’s offense in submission.

A sleeper hold, an ankle lock, a Kimora lock, whatever submission you can think of the Mizzou defense has the Bulls offense in. As of the 5:18 mark in the third quarter, Buffalo has three total yards and two punts. (They'd finish with 19 total yards in the quarter).

Nate Noel powers one home to cap off an eight-play, 47-yard touchdown drive with a four-yard touchdown run.

BUF 0, MIZ 31

Some of you have absurd expectations. Maybe because they’re high being a top 10 team. Watch more college football and you’ll see that even being an elite team doesn’t make every drive and play rainbows and unicorns. 24-0 at half. Enjoy the ride and stop bitching.

They weren't available last year so something has changed. The quality isn't the best on some of the channels but others are pretty good.

1. Luther Burden gets a rushing touchdown

From three yards out Luther Burden gets his second touchdown of the season. I’m noticing he’s doing a lot of jet sweeps and end-around. He lined up at running back on one play and did a C route. It was overturned by an illegal procedure penalty on Marcus Carroll, but Mizzou has used Burden in a lot of different roles. However, I think the Tigers should use him more out of the slot and let him do his job from there. Get some out routes and quick slants going. They don’t have to do reverses every possession to get him the ball.

BUF 0, MIZ 10

2. The defense is playing well and the offense is capitalizing.

As of the 10:07 mark of the second quarter, Mizzou is still allowing less than two yards per play on the season.

Buffalo is also 1-of-5 on third downs and 0-of-1 on fourth down conversions. The Bulls have 43 total yards.

Corey Flagg is one of the better pickups for the Tigers this offseason. He’s everywhere.

After forcing a quick three-and-out, Mizzou scored on its second offensive drive of the game. Brady Cook led a nine-play, 69-yard touchdown drive where he capped the drive off with a rushing touchdown from three yards out.

BUF 0, MIZ 17

Cook is 13-of-17 for 117 yards. He’s played well. A couple of his misses were a bit off-target. He's still finding his groove but that's just nitpicking. He's having a good game.

3. Theo Wease having a sneaky good game.

As of the two-minute warning in the first half, Theo Wease has 10 receptions for 105 yards on 11 targets. He had a 39-yard reception on the penultimate Mizzou offensive drive of the half that led to Cook's touchdown a few plays later.

His best game of his career came in Week 4 last year versus Vandy. He had 10 receptions for 118 yards and a touchdown.


4. Brady Cook with a great run for a touchdown.

Cook scored on a 31-yard touchdown that saw him high step to evade the shoestring tackle and get a great block by running back Nate Noel for the touchdown. It was a great run, but the block on Noel at the goal line allowed Cook to leap in and cross the goal line.

BUF 0, MIZ 24

Blake Craig misses a field goal to end the half from 52 yards out. So, he has a make from 51 yards and misses from 49 yards and 52 yards.


End of 2nd: BUF 0, MIZ 24
5. Mis

Finish them...up by 3 at half.

We need a solid FG kicker my brothers and we don’t have one.

Kentucky might be the worst team in the SEC this year. Their QB looks absolutely terrible. This board would be losing their shit right now if this was us…

The only problem I see is the noticeable dichotomy between the top and bottom halves of the SEC. That WILL be a problem if it continues and we go 10-2.

His arm strength, quick release, and ball placement are next to none in college football - at least today.

WOW.

38 losses to unranked opponents while being a top 10 team. That is wild.

7-6 Bama over USF late in 2nd. Nice to see them look a little human

1. Mitch Walters gets the start for Cam’Ron Johnson at right guard.

During pregame warmups, I saw Johnson in full pads, but his helmet was off, and he wasn’t participating with the rest of the offensive line.

He was listed as a game-time decision and ultimately Mitch Walters started in his place. Walters has improved greatly from what Eli Drinkwitz has said all offseason.

2. Blake Craig makes a field goal from 51 yards out easily. Then misses from 49 yards away.

The first drive ended with a 51-yard field goal. I think it would’ve been good from at least 57. Probably 60.

His kicking power has never been an issue. It’s always been about whether he can be accurate. Well, he answered that question.

BUF 0, MIZ 3

On the kickoff, Craig hit the bottom crossbar and almost made the kickoff go through the uprights. However, on the next possession, Craig missed from 49 yards out. He would’ve made the kick from 60 yards. So, again, kicking power isn’t a problem.

3. Defensive tackle depth is as advertised.

Through two possessions, five defensive tackles have played. So, the depth Drinkwitz has been talking about is true. Last season, Mizzou primarily used four DTs. Now, it’s five or six.

4. Marvin Burks gets his first career interception.
Buffalo quarterback C.J. Ogbonna just threw a lollipop to Burks. It was a terrible throw because Burks was the only one near the pass.

He has had a couple of tackles in the opening quarter to go with the interception.

5. Joe Moore flashing.

I’ve seen defensive end Joe Moore make a couple of plays. He’s getting in the backfield and getting pressure on the quarterback. He’s made a nice quarterback hit and was close to forcing a fumble on the quarterback. If this is what the DE5 is doing then the Tigers are in good shape.

End of 1st: BUF 0, MIZ 0

Starting RG Cam’Ron Johnson was fully dressed and singing and everything but he wasn’t practicing with the rest of the OL pregame.

He looks fine. Idk what this means but something to watch at kickoff.

Guessing Mitch Walters would be his replacement.

Taylen Green looking live Vince Young against Oklahoma State. Defense looks like the 85 Bears.

This will definitely hold up and not blow up in my face.

If someone wants to talk about Rhode Island-Minnesota, they can do it here

Buffalo, BC, and Vandy all have "running" qbs. Didn't see any of Buffalo last week, but watched some of Vandy, and a good chunk of BC/FSU. Pavia appears to be the only true game-changer of the three. Buffalo's QB played mostly as an RB last year and as a change of pace QB (based on what I can see from his stat). I'm not scared of losing any of those games (yet), but Diego has the potential to put a decent amount of poop in my pants.

When was Cal last even competitive? Auburn may not ‘be back’
