Not a very good start, obviously, but you've got the lead at halftime so you'll take that.

After the first drive, Drew Lock has been very good for most of the game. He's made a couple of incredible throws.

Larry Rountree was fantastic. He's over 100 yards in the first half. Running like he's pissed off they spelled his name wrong on his jersey. He has 1,114 yards for the season, ninth on the all time list.

Emanuel Hall went over 2000 yards for his career with his 58 yard catch in the first quarter.

The offensive line got pushed around at the start, but credit Derek Dooley for sticking with the run game and waiting for it to pop. Eventually it did.

Missouri missed a couple chances to extend drives by not leaning to the sticks. Lock hesitated on a third down scramble and I thought Tyler Badie cut the wrong way on that last drive.

Defensively, Missouri has been very good on first and second down and pretty bad on third. OSU is 5-8 on third down, which was damaging. HOWEVER, Oklahoma State only scored 14 points. You'll take that. If you told me before the game that Mizzou would give up 28, I'd like the Tigers' chances to win.

DeMarkus Acy hasn't had a very good day so far. Christian Holmes has.

Special teams is somehow worse every week than you think is possible.

Brandon Lee hasn't played much. but I was told he was out there. Terez Hall was out for a series, but apparently came back (I missed him). We didn't see Emanuel Hall the last couple series either. But he may have been in and we didn't see.

Still think you're going to have to score more than 35 to win this. Tigers will need three second half touchdowns.
