Bouncing Back with a Shutout

58-0. I think the score speaks for itself. The Tigers were obviously on fire Saturday as they scored touchdown after touchdown, eventually sending the Buffaloes home without allowing a single point. With another sold-out game the team was definitely able to impress all of the alumni who were in town for Homecoming.


Mizzou's passing game was right on target. Chase Daniel had a great game, passing for a total of 302 yards. Each of Colorado's quarterbacks threw for less than 100 yards each. Well done, Daniel.
Chase Coffman definitely deserves a big congratulations for breaking that NCAA record. Daniel pointed out the fact that Coffman still has several more games left in the season to increase the record. Congrats to you, Coffman!
And take a look at Jeff Wolfert, who also had a good game: 3 field goals and 7 extra points. I don't think Colorado's kicker even stepped on the field.

So, faith in the Tigers has been restored (not that it was ever lost in the first place... or at least not by me). Baylor probably won't pose much of a challenge next week, although I'm not going to speak too soon just in case. The chance for a good bowl game isn't completely lost. As long as Mizzou plays to their full potential throughout the rest of the season, things just might work in MU's favor. But I guess the future remains to be seen, and we as fans have to remain hopeful.
