The A&M win over an angry Manziel looking to put his stamp on his career.
The Vandy win. They housed an 8-4 football team on the road. That game was a slaughter and another one where Mizzou dicked around and let the score get a little closer than it was.
Mizzou's legitimately good. In fact, I'm not ready to say they're not as good as FSU. FSU has one good win and have otherwise dominated an awful ACC.
Any Saturday a team can have a bad game and watch their season go up in a puff of smoke. It could happen this Saturday as well. But Missouri is still a very good football team. They have a plus quarterback and the best group of skill position players (WR and RBs) in the country. If anyone disagrees with me there, go ahead and make your argument because I don't see anybody with the size, speed and skill, not to mention depth, that Mizzou has at WR and at RB. Going 5 deep with potential NFL WRs and 3 deep with HR hitters at RB is pretty damn uncommon.
We have a solid LB corps, the best DEs in the conference (arguably the country) and an experienced, healthy OL. Missouri is legitimately good.

I thought we were challenged plenty. OM had the ball inside the 20 three different times and got no points. Mizzou to their credit answered all of them.
IDK about FSU. They haven't played a defense yet worth anything but they look the part.
Aub has as impressive a resume as anyone in CFB.
Manziel didn't look himself...there must be something to him being hurt. Regardless MU held him to his lowest total yardage output to date & I largely agree w/ what you said about that game & the Vandy game.
