There's @mmurphy6. 3 scores by rush, punt return & kick return, the first #Mizzou player to do so in a single game.

Pinkel on if Maty Mauk is enjoying win: "everyone's enjoying the win. If I can keep you guys away from him, he'll be fine."

Muschamp said defense "played their butts off" admits offense is awful in so many words. #Gators

The real question of the night. Why are these people still here? #Gators

And if there was any doubt about the end of the Muschamp era....

The "Fire Muschamp" chant was a lot louder after the latest score. I think it was coming from the press box.

And, as @JoeWalljasper writes, Florida's ineptitude was the antidote to the MU offense's wasting disease- http://bit.ly/ZKQdBZ .

GAINESVILLE — It just goes to show you, if you think you've got it bad, there's always someone that has it worse.

And for the Missouri football team, that special someone is Florida.



The Tigers, one week removed from a shutout loss to Georgia, inflicted a similar 42-13 beating on the Gators. Of course, if you polled the frustrated masses streaming out of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in the second half — fuming at doomed Coach Will Muschamp and in-need-of-a-hug quarterback Jeff Driskel — they probably would have declared Missouri an unhelpful bystander to a team bent on self-destruction.

Whatever. If the opponent is lost, give him bad directions. All is fair in love and the battle for second place in the SEC East.

Missouri's defense and special teams were so dominant, the MU offense was the team's appendix — doing no real harm or good, its purpose a mystery — converting the occasional minus-11-yard scoring drive but mostly watching the show from the sidelines.

After going the last three games without causing a turnover, the Tigers binged on poor Driskel and his shaky understudy, Treon Harris.

Last Sunday, defensive coordinator Dave Steckel passed out business cards that read "Takeaways = Victory." Linebacker Michael Scherer said the players weren't sure if Steckel, a Marine with a penchant for conversational awkward pauses, was joking. So they mostly kept straight faces and took the cards.

"With Stec, you never want to laugh until he laughs," Scherer said.

Missouri's trump card was actually its relentless pass rush. The Gators had allowed just five sacks all season before giving up six to the Tigers, including two by the future sack king of Missouri, Shane Ray, and one by emerging star Harold Brantley. The Tigers had six takeaways, including a fumble return for a touchdown by Markus Golden and an interception return for a TD by Darvin Ruise. Those, combined with the marvelous returns of Marcus Murphy — a 96-yard touchdown on the opening kickoff and an 82-yard punt runback for a score — was more than enough...

Only two Gators walked over to sing the Alma Mater after their loss to Mizzou:

Missouri used 8 different D-line combinations in 21 first-quarter plays against Florida last night.

For a football program where an AD gives u all the resources /The GATOR performance @ home vs Mizzou has to be UNACCEPTABLE ! @gatorhoops

[Jackrabbit Hog]

Will Muschamp is accomplishing the impossible.  He is making Gator fans yearn for the days of Ron Zook.

So is Mullen to UF a done deal?
