To be leading that game is impressive. Mizzou looked lost for about 22 minutes. And then it found itself.

The lack of pass rush is pretty easy to explain: Missouri isn't trying to sack Thomas Castellanos. It's trying to keep him in the pocket and counting on him making a mistake. He's done that a few times.

BC's two touchdowns came after awful third down penalties (one a stupid penalty, one a questionable call). The defense found itself a little bit.

If you score on the first drive of the second half, you put BC in catchup mode. They can't hand it off and take seven minutes per possession. So you should do that.

Hated the clock management at the end of the first half, but Blake Craig bailed them out. Kick would have been good from 65.

Biggest concern for me is the offensive line. It's getting cooked on a lot of passing plays. Brady Cook hasn't been great, but he hasn't been awful. He's had some drops and at least four or five plays where he has to throw the ball in 1.5 seconds. Give him some help.

With about 10 minutes left in the second quarter I told @JHamilton23 "If Luther is the guy everybody thinks he is, he needs to show up now." He did and he is.
