Yahtzee! That's the proof I'm talking about! Baylor was decent but certainly should not have beaten MU at Faurot Field.
I was stating that in my opinion Missouri started the season very well and went downhill in a hurry. 3 consecutive losses followed by a win over struggling Colorado and another loss at home to Baylor. Then consecutive wins over mediocre teams followed by a thrashing at the hands of the Middies. I hardly call this playing better as the season went on as fro daddy stated.
Well Joe I dont know what you thought was so impressive about beating the 4 teams they beat to start the year. I guess we could look at it two different ways. We could take your word for it as you look at box score and a schedule and give your opinion. Or you could take my word for it as I watched/attended every game. rewatched those games again on DVR (some as many as 5 times) & followed every snap because they are my team and then gave my opinion that they played better down the stretch, although they were quite inconsistant.
As someone who did actually watch every snap multiple times, I would say that MU was more complete, executed much better, and played with more consistancy as the season progressed. They obviously had flaws, but that doesnt mean they did get better and play better down the stretch.
