Missouri vs. UMass Game Summary

When playing against a nonconference, unranked program like Missouri did, sometimes teams will take their foot off the gas pedal. However, they were able to dominate defensively as they allowed just 237 total yards and played a clean game, committing just four penalties for 35 yards.

Then, of course, the pair of forced turnovers (one fumble recovery, one interception) showcased the ability to control the game. UMass was just overwhelmed as they were simply unable to sustain drives as they had 13 total first downs and went just 2-of-14 on third-down attempts.

Mizzou quarterback Brady Cook had a strong game, finishing 14-of-19 for 219 yards and two touchdowns.

It is difficult to picture a way to spin this as a positive for the Minutemen, but the Tigers should climb up the AP Poll on Sunday as a result of how they played.
