For the first time in conference play all season, Missouri played a complete and disciplined game on both sides of the ball and came away with its first road win of the season on Saturday, 23-10 over No. 25 South Carolina. A lot of that is because the defense could finally play with the lead. The defense played knowing it would be able to get adequate rest on the sidelines and not have to see its offense author quick three-and-out after three-and-out as it saw against Auburn in week four.
