Mizzou was looking for a bounce-back win after a tough loss to Mississippi State last week.
The Tigers did just that on Saturday, as they picked up their largest win ever against an AP Top 10 team in a 45-17 victory over Florida.
According to Radar360, the previous biggest win against an AP Top 10 team for Missouri was a 46-25 victory against No. 8 USC in 1976.
The Tigers dominated this game in nearly every area, with quarterback Austin Simmons having an incredible day. He finished 23-of-30 for 340 yards and two touchdowns. His favorite target on the day was Cayden Lee, who finished with eight catches for 110 yards.
The passing game got the Tigers the lead, and then it was running back Jamal Roberts who delivered late with two long runs en route to a 24-carry, 211-yard and three touchdown performance.

Equally impressive was the defense, which held Florida superstar running back Jadan Baugh to 13 yards on 12 carries. He entered the game ranked No. 2 in the country in yards, and his 11 touchdowns were the most in college football.
The Tigers will look to keep up the momentum next week when they host Texas A&M.
