Mizzou football is heading into the Kelly Bryant era of the program and the hype is real for the Tigers in 2019. Which games could give MU more problems than fans will be expecting this season?

The Missouri Tigers have a shot to make it to a prime bowl game in 2019 with transfer quarterback Kelly Bryant taking the reigns at quarterback.

A lot of that will depend on if the postseason ban ends up happening in 2019 (baseball and softball were both eligible to participate in their respective postseasons this year due to the university appealing the sanctions), but if it doesn’t get overturned, motivation could be hard to come by for some of these players.

While Missouri’s schedule doesn’t look too tough at first glance, there are a few games that could end up being trickier than anticipated. Before we get into the potential trap games, here are all of the opponents on Mizzou’s schedule for 2019:
