Maybe so, but again...we were (I believe) second in the SEC in YPC coming into that game. We had a good run defense.

Shut you down? No, force a few punts and hold serve enough to have 42 points win the game? Yes, I believe so.

We played that game in a 3 down front which we hadn't down one single time that entire year leading up to the game. It was a terrible decision and making matters worse we never got out of it when it was obviously being shredded.

I know this is all sour grapes, but it's not rant trolling. I truly believe we fricked ourselves and that's not taking away from Auburn. We WERE that good. Still stings to this day because those type of teams don't come to Mizzou all that often.

Yep. I remember that . Hell, even Gary and Verne were saying there is not way it would work.

But our offensive line was pretty good and even switching to the 4/3 would not have slowed us down much. That combo of Marshall , Mason and Prosch was very difficult to stop.

Personlly, I would have stacked the box until Nick beat you with the pass. Just to keep what you knew was happening from doing so
