Not sure what game you were watching, but my take was far different. This game was night and day different than Southeastern Louisiana last year. In that game, the offense struggled alot. The offense today was really crisp. Good run blocking, Franklin had a lot of time. Franklin was also pretty sharp.
The defense struggled early, but then completely shut down Murray State. After the first quarter Mizzou out scored them 45-0. That is with going deep into the bench in the 3rd quarter.

Also last year we had only 9 plays of 30 yards or longer all season. We came close to matching that just tonight.

This is actually true. D was responsible for a ton of points in our first game last year.

Like I said, I may be a little too negative.
I went into this season saying over and over I didn't know what to expect. It's been the hardest season for me to predict since I've been trying (Probably 10 years).
My first impression wasn't great, I may be looking too much into that first impression, but I didn't like what I felt when the defense was sucking against Murray State.
The D did settle in and really get down to it, but I didn't like seeing that Murray State could impose their will against our D, and I don't like now knowing that the D has that kind of quarter in them at all. I'd hate to see it come out again once against someone with better talent, and has the offensive talent to impose their will at a much higher level than Murray State.
I'm more than open to the fact that I'm being overly negative.
