I was consistent in how I would judge the past two weeks of Missouri football: Those were pass/fail tests, much like the grade kids receive in kindergarten. You either move on to the next grade, or you’re held back. There is no grading on a scale. It’s a very simple evaluation. Missouri passed both of its early tests.
Today was different. Contenders shouldn’t just beat Vanderbilt. They should impose their will against Vanderbilt. Whatever it is that you do well, you can do that against the Commodores. The Tigers’ best asset is their passing game, and the stars were shining bright in Nashville.
