Will Mizzou Win?

I believe Mizzou has a good chance of winning the game. The Tigers have home field advantage at Faurot Field and Mizzou wants to prove the fans they have come a long way since last year’s debacle of a season.

The Missouri Tigers receiving corp is fast and somewhat physical and can beat the best defenses with said speed. Quarterback Drew Lock looks much improved this season and should get better as the year progresses.

The only concern for me would be the kicking game. I’m not sure if Tucker McCann can get the job done in his first SEC conference game with a lot on the line. I hope that he can but the guy has scared me this season. Freshman jitters are probably playing a huge factor here. If he can calm down and make kicks, I like Mizzou’s chances a lot more.
