There wasn't an official line listed for the Missouri State-Missouri game, but it's a safe bet that the "over" would have hit.

The Tigers topped the Bears 72-43 on Saturday afternoon in Columbia in a wild, crazy, sometimes head-scratching, opener for second-year coach Barry Odom. They racked up 815 total yards and averaged 10.87 yards per play, but found themselves in more of a battle than they ever anticipated. 

Let's examine what went down in Columbia.

Drew Lock was spectacular: The junior signal-caller set a school record with seven touchdown passes, threw for 521 yards and spread passes around to nine different receivers. It was further confirmation that the offense, led by second-year coordinator Josh Heupel, hasn't missed a beat. 

In fact, it looks even more potent than it was last year when the Tigers led the conference with 500.5 yards per game. What's more, Lock's 15.3 yards per attempt on Saturday obliterated his mark of 7.8 from a year ago.

While Jalen Hurts, Jarrett Stidham, Jacob Eason and other SEC quarterbacks generated the offseason buzz, Lock proved on Saturday that one of the cagy veterans of the SEC still has it.

Damarea Crockett is the best RB you've never heard of: Quietly, Crockett topped the 1,000-yard a year ago and, had it not been for an arrest and suspension for the regular season finale against Arkansas, nobody would have known about it.

You should get to know him now, because he was one of the stars of the early window of games Saturday afternoon.

He rushed for 202 yards and two touchdowns, including a 73-yarder, in the rout. What was even more impressive was 5-foot-11, 220-pound sophomore showed off his game as a fantastic all-around back. The long touchdown run showed off his jets, but he routinely lowered his shoulder, finished runs and sought out contact. 

The running back found the end zone on another occasion, but the score was called back for excessive celebration. 

Take a look at the penalty.

Yes, it was a bit unnecessary and, according to the rule, diving into the end zone when you aren't threatened gets you 15 yards. 

But can we re-examine this specific situation soon? All he was doing was having fun.

D-Line Zou is a thing of the past: Remember when Missouri was known for stellar defenses, the ability to rotate up front and an aggressive style that never took games off? That doesn't exist anymore.

The Tigers gave up a whopping 492 yards of total offense, 353 through the air, struggled to get push and covering receivers downfield was more of an abstract idea than something they could actually accomplish.

Missouri fans should be furious.

This is now Year 2 for Odom and defensive coordinator DeMontie Cross, and the duo has effectively stripped away the identity of a program that worked hard to establish it in a new conference. 

Something has to change with the defense because if Odom's crew doesn't get it fixed, another year of SEC East anonymity is in their future.
