Missouri has lost 4 games but all of them were to top 20 teams and 3 to top 10 teams with none being blowouts. We also have reasons for it just as valid as your loses. MU lost their best pass rusher and starting QB as they left early for the NFL draft and both were drafted in the first 10 picks. Of the 4 losses many of them can be traced directly to a young inexperienced QB's mistakes. Had Gabbert still been starting they most likely would have been much better. So like WVU they will be better next year that they are this
year.

End of story. Mizzou will be waaay better next year with Franklin as a Junior. Hell the kid is learning the offense and they are still competing with the exception of OSU, doubt if he got many snaps last year.

ETA: Everybody knew Mizzou would be down this year. Like I said next year they'll be on fire.

Actually against OSU Franklin killed 3 drives with turnovers twice inside the OSU 20 and once inside the OSU 5. He also gave OSU the ball inside Missouri's 30 with a turnover. OSU's last touchdown was also a giveaway as Missouri with under 2 minutes remaining went for it on 4th down around their own 20 yard line giving OSU a short field. Eliminate the mistakes and no late score to pad OSU's lead due to giving them the ball back at MU's own 20 and the game is a lot closer and possibly a win.
