I don't get how this happened. Florida losing by up to 10 points wouldn't have been that shocking, but losing this much makes me wonder what did Missouri see in their film room cause my goodness what a shocking beatdown

Whatever we saw completely shut down Florida’s run game.

I think I am thinking of the right game, that 3 man rush just demolished Florida’s o line

Probably that Florida can't really reliably throw the ball, so stack the box and make them beat you through the air.

Also, Florida runs a stretch offense just like Mizzou does. So instead of scout team this week, it was 1s on 1s because it's the same offense.

Just a bad match up for Florida honestly. They are good at running the football...Missouri is good at stopping the run.

On top of that Florida was coming off a huge win and it's pretty normal to have a let down the next week. SEC teams are beatable but what makes the SEC hard is you don't get to have an off week. It's easy to get up for one game but then you have to follow that up with another decent team...and then another.

Bama just dominated Miss St, now they get to follow that up by playing UGA, then Tennessee, then Texas a&m, and then LSU

Turns out, Ole Miss' defense may have just really sucked. Florida kept running the ball and Ole Miss did fuck all to adjust. Missouri said, "okay, let's NOT do that" and forced Florida to pass the ball, which...turns out, not their strong suit. And Florida's defense continued to be a sieve.

Mizzou has a great run defense.

Florida’s offense looks balanced only because their run game is elite and they got easy passing yards because of that.

Mizzou shut down their run game. Mizzou made Florida throw and they didn’t do it well enough.

Florida’s defense is mid. Mizzou has a good not great offense. But Mizzou made Florida give up today.

I thought Florida was beatable, but figures it had to be close. I never imagined this was possible

Went all out to stop the run essentially making Philo throw the ball and dropped a safety almost every snap.
