The discouraging thing is how poorly our defense was coached. Mizzou's receivers weren't just open, they were all alone. MU was moving the ball the same way the whole game, and we made no adjustments. On their last score our backs were all looking at Walker like he should have covered the MU guy. We were terribly confused.

Newcombe didn't handle the ball a whole lot, but he sure made an impact. (Funny how every time the ball goes to him, I'm instantly on my feet, just like when Johnny Rodgers was playing.) I got to talk to Jack Pierce at the pregame and asked if we should get two QBs and leave Newcombe at WB. He said that Newcombe is too quick not to play QB.
