The defeat was a demolition, but it led to interesting data points that explain some of the Tigers' struggles and raise fresh questions.

By halftime, Missouri (4-1, 1-1 SEC) had gained just 79 total yards to A&M’s 305. Worse, needing an early second-half burst to have any shot of playing their way back into the game, the Tigers instead surrendered 10 more quick points to their hosts to open the third quarter.

Missouri football took a hammering Saturday at Kyle Field, as the Aggies torched Mizzou from the word go and seldom let up.
