I was impressed with the overall defense, though Illinois shot thselves in the face several times offensively without Mizzou's help.
And it seems the offense won't skip a beat, but I didn't think they would.

My favorite part was the defensive strategy. In college, unlike the NFL, letting teams dink and dunk down the field is a good plan. More often than not, a college team will make a mistake if you make them run 12+ plays to score. That's exactly what we saw today. It's giving up the big play that kills in college.
