I went around telling everyone I know that I thought Missouri would upset Texas. Boy did they make me look like a fool. Now I have to go in the office on Monday and listen to everyone knock me down. The final score you ask? 56-31. “There’s no excuses,” said Pinkel. “They outplayed us, out-blocked us, kicked us, running, passing, coaching, everything.”

Texas got up to an early 35-3 lead at the half, and Missouri couldn’t catch up. Jeremy Maclin did have 8 receptions, but was only able to get 66 yards from them. He played mediocre on offense, but did have 132 yards from kick returns, including a 50 yarder.

Missouri is now No. 15 in the BCS and No. 16 in the AP Poll. They’re pretty much out of it. I don’t see a 2 loss team winning the National Championship this year.
