Grades and self-inflicted gaffes dominate Missouri beat

Happy Monday, Tiger fans! Missouri is officially in Florida week, but we’ve still got some lingering links from Georgia. Let’s address those first, shall we?

In BK’s postgame takeaways, he noted a strange conflicted feeling he was having about this team, this coach and this year. It would appear some of those feelings are shared around the Mizzou beat.

• Dave Matter has the PFF grades and snap counts from the Tigers’ near upset in Columbia.
• Ben Frederickson argues that Mizzou is the only thing standing in Mizzou’s way after two near upsets against Auburn and Georgia.
• Saturday’s close call has probably raised Mizzou’s profile a little bit, but they’re still a touchdown underdog at The Swamp.
• Blair Kerkhoff clarifies how the Tigers are “disappointed, but not discouraged,” after their loss to Georgia.
• Chris Kwiecinski listed his 10 thoughts from the loss, including some hope in the future for Luther Burden.
• Report cards are in from Mizzou’s near-upset: Kansas City Star, Columbia Tribune.
• For those who weren’t at the game, you don’t want to miss Brad Smith’s triumphant beating of Big Mo!
