I really think people overrated this Missouri team. They are very good, but they aren't some unbeatable team. They have a weak defense that can be picked apart easily, and they don't have that great of a running game. It isn't bad, but I think they rely too much on the passing game to really be consistent against good teams. They have the make up of a team that will consistently destroy the bad teams by just out scoring them by a ton, which Mizzou backers love because you can make money off of that, but it makes it hard to compete with the top teams. That is why they got beat pretty badly by the only real top team they played last year in OU. They couldn't stay within single digits either time because their kind of team isn't made for the big time.
That is unless you really have something special on offense that just cannot be stopped, which I don't think Mizzou has.

Missouri is a very good team but they certainly aren't looking like one tonight. Unfocused on the task at hand is exactly how I'd describe them. If they have the character to come back and pull out a win I'll be very impressed, and I think it would make them tougher for the rest of the season.
Okie State is looking scrappy as hell, though.

Mizzou's loss tonight just showed me how good this conference is. There are too many good QB's and good offenses in this league..If somebody gets hot, or another team doesn't bring their A Game, their going to get beat..Here me now and believe me later, this conference is wide open in both divisions. You may not see a team get out of this conference with less than 2 losses..
