Question

I missed the Mizzou victory over Illinois. Did the Tigers play like a top ten team?

Answer 1

No they did not, because the defense played very bad.  Illinois moved the ball on them at will in the second half.

Answer 2

lol they got 44 points or so put on them if thats a top ten ten team then u live in elmos world where football dosent mean **** peen state played like a top ten team

Answer 3

Offensively, they were very impressive. But, their defense gave up over 450 passing yards to juice williams.

Answer 4

Chase Daniel went 26 for 43 and threw for 314 yards and 3 touchdowns...but their defense needs work, they allowed 42 points [in all fairness one of Illinois touchdowns was an interception.]  

Answer 5

Neither team played up to their ranking. But then. It's only the first game. Defensive work needs to be done. Mizzou and Illinois. Neither one could stop the other. The 5 QB sacks and the 2 INT's by Missouri I Think.. were a big deciding factor. Their defense did shine a bit more than Illinois did when they needed it the most. Both team will learn from this game and hopefully stop the leaks in the defense.  

Answer 6

They're offense played like a top 7 team, but there defense was horrendous, they couldn't get Juice Williams off the field and the secondary had issues which led to wide open LONG passes.

Answer 7

they were unstoppable. im an illinois fan tho, so i hate dem, lol.

Answer 8

yes considering they played the great illini

Answer 9

I agree with everyone else. Their offense played well but the defense needs some work. The way they played won't cut the mustard against KU, UT, TTU,or OU. Luckily they got a win and can fix their problems.

BTW- a BCS school should look like a top 10 team against the like of coastal carolina?
