I don't think the CBs got worse, I think they were being asked to do more than they were capable of because the safety support wasn't there.

On occasion Walker would make a nice play, but apart from those, the Mizzou safeties seemed a step behind in coverage all season long.
Fair enough. Fewer blown coverage on the back end (like the one that popped up again against Syracuse) was a big part of it, I think.

I think the scheme is a big part of the problem, too. Covering up a slot WR with Andrew Wilson, with safety support over the top, just makes it too easy for opposing offenses.
