Just got back from Springfield for the Mo. State game. Sold out, so had to buy a standing room only ticket; over 18,000 at the game. Nicely updated stadium with seating right up close to the field. Great college football atmosphere on a beautiful evening.
Defense played a great first half, not allowing any points until the last minute of the second quarter. Pretty impressive half, actually (defensively). In the second half, the defense wore down and finally succumbed to our continued turnovers. The offense couldn't get anything done; besides the turnovers, what especially hurt was not being able to capitalize on the takeaways produced by the defense. Dropped passes, again, didn't help, either. Gave up some big pass plays in the second half, but overall I was encouraged by the play of our defense. Nor sure how many yards Shaugabay had, but he worked for every one of them and I was glad to see him finally get a chance.
