Offense : c-

QB play was poor, with a few spots of decency, but overall poor. The offensive line played well, and Emory Blake/Lutzenkirchen were fine. Our RBs looked good, but overall bad penalties and turnovers killed our momentum. We looked incapable of coming up with a good play when we needed one most.

Defense: C-

Our defense looked tougher than last year, but still had missed tackles and still let up a crap ton of yards and played incredibly soft in coverage. Just a poor, poor showing against a team missing their top playmaker. Bright spot was the defensive line, specifically the DEs, but Boyd made plays that neutralized their prescense, and then they got tired, and then our defense was inept.

Special Teams: A

Didn't see anything of concern here. Boulware is money.

You've seen Willie Martinez's resume, right? Get used to this.

-Offense: B+
Play calling didn't help much in the first half; we were running well but tried to go deep too often. We improved vastly in the 2nd half because we relied on the run and intermediate passing game which settled Murray down and allowed him to hit the deep passes. Liked what I saw from the running game (aside from the injury to Malcome), even if it was just Buffalo. The OL did an adequate job; not truly dominant but it was the first start for 2 of our linemen and they did alright. Burnette and Theus will be fine for Mizzou.

-Defense:C
There wasn't a whole lot of "good" from this group aside from Jarvis. The blitz packages and play calls were vanilla but there's no reason Buffalo's OL should've gotten the push they did. Jarvis Jones had 1.5 sacks and a few TFLs while Damien Swann looked good at corner, but all in all it was an EXTREMELY underwhelming performance. Hopefully Ogletree and perhaps Rambo will be back next week because walk-on Safety Connor Norman is bad...really bad.

-Special Teams:B
Our punts looked pretty good, even though there was a break down in coverage on one. Marshall Morgan did an alright job on KO's but his FGs and PATs really need to improve. I liked what I saw on returns from Gurley and Swann.

-Overall:B
We need to improve a LOT, otherwise we might finish up with a 7-5/8-4 record with our weakass schedule. At least we didn't look Florida-bad.
