I went through the game yesterday and clipped off parts I thought were significant. Please ignore the background noise as my dog, Josey, was chewing a bone. Yes, she was named after Henry Josey, which I regret because she's torn both ACLs. Anyways, that's not important. Here's a summary of what I learned from watching the game again.
1) The WRs did an exceptional job of blocking. Not just on the WR screens, but anytime there was a block to be made, they made it.
2) The Spring Game wasn't a fluke for Rashad Brandon. As you'll see below, he was the best player on the defense in this game. As of right now, I'd say he's the best DT that Mizzou has. Yes, I know, what about Terry Beckner. Beckner showed some signs of life, but I saw a couple of plays where he was run out of the screen by Missouri State's OL. I don't think he's 100% yet.
3) Damarea Crockett is a treasure. There's a couple of clips below where he makes the defenders look stupid with his exceptional suddeness.
4) Drew Lock had a few hiccups, but for most of the day he was very accurate across the middle and on passes over 20+ yards. The pass he dropped in the bucket to J'Mon may have been his best throw of the day, just ahead of the pass to Dominic Collins.
5) Nate Anderson needs more playing time. As you'll see below, Nate looks very explosive and had the best game of any DE today. One thing that really stuck out to me while watching the game live was the lack of pressure from the DEs. All of the pressure was coming from the DTs.
6) The secondary had a really bad day. They couldn't get out of their own way whether it was tackling or knowing their assignments in coverage. It was all around bad except for Logan Cheadle.
Enjoy the clips.
