Thoughts on This Week's Mizzou Game

First of all I was happy to see my Missouri Tigers get back on track with a 38-28 win over Kansas State. K-State is a tough and dangerous football team. Yeah, I know they were down 18 points with 7:00 to go in the game, but had it not been for a few poorly timed turnovers, K-State could have been in position to win the game.

K-State quarterback Carson Coffman fumbled the ball on the Mizzou half yard line just before the half, and you could see it take the momentum away from the team. Then in the second half Missouri's
Aldon Smith sacked Coffman for a fumble and the loose ball was picked up by Jacquies Smith and returned 53 yards for a touchdown that put the Tigers up 28-14. Otherwise, the play was relatively even with both squads struggling at times. The Tigers go 8-2 on the season and 4-2 in the conference. K-State is 6-4 and 3-4.

Up next for Mizzou is
Iowa State in Ames. The Tigers have always had problems playing up there and they had better be ready this week as again they will face a team that moves the ball on the ground extremely well. I bleed Black and Gold but this one will be tough and it could be a tough night for the Tigers.
