Played its most complete game yesterday. They held Auburn to season lows in rushing offense and total offense. They would have held them to a season low in points scored if not for Luther's Matt Holliday impersonation.

They had 8 TFLs vs a line that had blocked pretty well all season long. Kelly and Young had 2 TFLs a piece. Lang and Walker each had one. McClellan and Williams Dominated the A Gaps.

They burned Rodriguez's redshirt yesterday. He can fly. He needs practice reps but he showed he can get wide with an elite RB. Hicks can't make that play and it's outside of Newson's range if he makes a late read.

Flagg should be getting all the Mike reps. He is a player. Hicks is on his heels making the reads and dropping into coverage. I'd rather see them try to press the QB and blowup blocks with Hicks.

Burks gets caught with his eyes in the backfield again but has 10 tackles including a solo shot on Thorn's run to get the ball back in the 2nd half.

Carnell put the league on notice yesterday. The seams will come at great expense.

That was the hardest hit I've seen a Mizzou player make since Nick Bolton got that targeting call vs Arkansas.

Beautiful clean hit, hopefully just knocked the wind out of #13 and didn't break his collarbone. Charleston had a great hit on Thorne earlier in the game too, although the soft refs would probably call it targeting if he hits Milroe like that next week.
