5 Keys to the Schedule
– Coming off a bad year and with a new head coach, Mizzou could handle starting the season off with a nice and breezy game. Instead, they start at West Virginia. The Eastern Michigan game to follow is the one the team needed to kick things off. Delaware State is a break before going to LSU, and the Middle Tennessee game needs to be a break, even though it’ll be a shootout.
– The permanent game with the West against Arkansas is at home at the end of the season. The other game against the West? At LSU. It’s not going to Alabama, but it’s not better. With this game, Missouri doesn’t have much margin for error the rest of the way.
– Georgia is a home game, but the Florida and Tennessee showdowns in the East are on the road. Considering the LSU game is on the road – and that it’s on the schedule at all – Missouri has to win two of the big three division games, and can’t lose at South Carolina.
– There are plenty of nice blocks of home games. The Tigers get three in a row after the opener at West Virginia, and get three in four weeks after the Florida game. That have to own Farout Field this year to stay alive in the East.
– WATCH OUT FOR … Vanderbilt. It’s in the middle of November in the dog days of the SEC season, and it’s a key sandwich game coming after the road game at South Carolina and the trip to Tennessee. A home date against Vandy is always circled as an assumed win – Mizzou will need it.
