Show Notes

On a wild Saturday night in CoMo, the Missouri Tigers overcame a dull start, a plodding offense and a halftime deficit during a crazy, cuckoo 2nd half to outlast visiting Oklahoma 30-23. The star of the show was Missouri backup quarterback Drew Pyne, who shook off an ineffective first half to repeatedly come through with big plays with the game on the line. On the drives that led to his trio of touchdown passes, Pyne completed 8 of 13 throws for 120 yards and the three scores. With everything at stake, Pyne was outstanding when Mizzou couldn't afford him to be anything less than brilliant. This should be a significant confidence boost for Pyne.

After the game, MU coach Eli Drinkwitz stirred up some in the national media by insisting that his Tigers were still in the hunt for a spot in the 12-team playoff tournament. Drink's claims were intentional ... he wanted to attract attention ... and sure enough he got people buzzing about him and his team, which is now 7-2 with a chance to go 10-2 for the regular season. In this video I take a look at where Mizzou stands in the national picture with three games to go on the regular-season schedule. But what shouldn't be overlooked is MU's 18-4 record since the start of last season. And that's worth talking about.
