Drinkwitz found another second-half lead to sit on, and the room has stopped expecting anything else.
What happened
Missouri went to Starkville 3-0 and came home 3-1, dropping it 24-31 to Mississippi State in the kind of game that gets replayed in the shower for a week. The turning point wasn't a fumble or a flag; it was the moment the lead arrived in the second half and the playcalling got smaller, which is why fans spent Saturday night muttering that Drinkwitz "immediately goes into a shell." One put it plainer: "this one was very winnable." Misery held at 85, which is its own verdict.
What fans said
“It would be nice to pull away with one ever. Especially because this one was very winnable.”
