Game Notes

#6 Tigers outlast the #20 Illini 52-42 in another example of defense-less, ridiculous basketball on grass brand of 'football.'

The 2 teams combine for 1,081 yards as both teams show zero interest in the fundamentals of football. Missouri has Illinois down 45-20, but is forced to withstand a huge rally since it is more concerned with 'running its offense' than winning football games and allows the Illini extra chances to score by refusing to run clock.

Chase Daniel throws for 323 yards and 3 TDs, and Juice Williams throws for 451 yards and 5 TDs proving that Missouri plays no defense when a halfback with an arm and no touch can put up those numbers.
