For the record: Missouri, 4-0 and coming off a bye week, moved up to No. 22 in the USA Today coaches poll and moved into the Associated Press poll at No. 24.
Who’s hot: The 37 receptions by sophomore T.J. Moe are the most in school history through four games.
Who’s not: Missouri would like to be ranked higher than seventh among Big 12 teams in rushing offense. Then again, the Tigers had to unexpectedly revamp their backfield after 2008 and 2009 leading rusher Derrick Washington was kicked off the team Sept. 1 after being charged with felony sexual assault.
Key stat: On defense, Missouri’s eight interceptions through four games already match the Tigers’ total for all 13 games last season.
FYI: With this being the 20-year anniversary of the “Fifth Down Game” in Columbia, there is sure to be a ton of media coverage recounting the officials’ mistake that proved pivotal in Colorado’s run to the 1990 national championship.
