Quick notes and thoughts from the Missouri Tigers' 31-0 win over the Buffalo Bulls.
COLUMBIA, Mo. — The Missouri Tigers didn't go out and score 51 tonight, but they didn't let Buffalo have any more room to breathe than it allowed Murray State in Week 1.
Quarterback Brady Cook's 28-of-36 pass completion and 228 passing yards were nothing to look past, but he found much of his success was found in the run game. He rushed for 62 yards on five attempts and two touchdowns on the night, the first of which coming on a 3-yard drive up the middle and the latter from a 31-yard scramble that ended with a flip into the end zone at the 1:51 minute mark in the second quarter.
Once again Missouri held its opponents to a shutout, forcing Buffalo to just 168 total yards and 1-of-12 on 3rd down conversions. The Bulls struggled immensely to get any form of a strong offense building, even when the Tigers started to ease the foot off the gas pedal in the back half of the game. Missouri's defensive performance was encouraging yet again, and it'll enter next week's matchup against Boston College without a single point allowed. It's the only team in college football to currently hold that status.Although the Tigers won without much of a fight from Buffalo, field goal opportunities were missed multiple times throughout the contest.
