Watch the video above as Missouri football reporter Joey Van Zummeren labels the best and worst aspects of Missouri's win at Auburn in Week 8.

In some ways, the only thing that matters for Missouri at the moment is its record. At 6-1, the Tigers are still in great position to accomplish everything they want to.

But, Missouri's win at Auburn in Week 8 continue to show where the Tigers will need to improve through the second half of the season to be the team they want to.

Here's the best and worst aspects of Missouri's showing in the win.

The Good: Defensive end Zion Young absolutely took over in the biggest moments of the game. In the fourth quarter and overtime alone, Young created two cruicial sacks and a tackle for loss.

The Bad: Freshman kicker Robert Meyer's miss from 38 yards in the first overtime was a reminder of just how shaky Missouri is at kicker without Blake Craig.

The Ugly: Due to holes in the offensive line, quarterback Beau Pribula was under pressure all night and running back Ahmad Hardy had no room to run. To Auburn's credit, its defensive line proved to be elite. But the offensive line will need to be more consistent for the offense to find more rhythm.

Here's the morning buzz for Tuesday, Oct. 21.
