“That’s one!” says Missouri defensive end Zion Young (9) to other MU players on the sideline after wide receiver Theo Wease Jr. (1) scored for Missouri in the second half of a game against Texas A&M on Saturday, Oct. 5, 2024, at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas. It would be the only Mizzou touchdown of the day. (CAL TOBIAS/ROCK M NATION)

Our writers dug deep and found plenty of reasons to smile after Mizzou’s loss to Texas A&M.

Welcome to the MV3, a weekly piece where Rock M Nation’s staff votes on the three most impactful players in Mizzou’s previous game.

I know what you’re thinking. “The headline says there is a lot to celebrate, but Mizzou just played one of its worst games in years!”

That’s what you’re thinking. And I get it… I was there at one point too. But I’m really proud of the fact that at Rock M, we find ways to look at the positives. And despite Mizzou logging its first loss of the 2024 season — and not playing particularly well! — our staff really showed out for the reasons they found to celebrate the trip to College Station. I’m proud of us, because it can’t always be doom and gloom. Sometimes you have to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive, right, Bing?

Five punts for 228 total yards. That’s 45.6 yards per punt, with a long of 57 and one downed inside the 20. A nice little day at the office for Mr. Bauer, which is always a bad thing to type.

T-2. The back judge who overturned the DPI call; The water boy for preventing cramps; The pilot for flying the team safely to College Station; The hotel staff for providing clean rooms; Statbroadcast; Church Street Bars being 18+; Blake Craig; Marquis Johnson on that one kick return; Texas BBQ; Dixie Chicken; GA who designed the card with the blanket left for Wease

In something of a miracle, we were able to squeeze all 10 of these magnificent contenders onto this week’s ballot. That’s almost impossible statistically, but what can I say? The football gods smiled down on us today and provided us with a lot of heroes in College Station.
