We finished 11-19 on 3rd down & 1-1 on 4th. I’ll blindly take that every game. Meanwhile, BC was 4-12 in 3rd downs for the day.

And while stats can tell a big part of the story, it’s ultimately the scoreboard that’s ultimately the most important. Cubit’s (ESPN Analyst) review of the game was pretty thorough & accurate IMO - basically ended by saying the final score was much closer than the actual game for anyone watching. A couple things happening in BC’s favor could’ve altered things - just as a couple changes could’ve resulted in Mizzou winning by 18-20 points.
