COLUMBIA, Mo. • Can they get to six wins?
How about: Can they get to three?
This was despicable.
Mizzou lost Homecoming here, to Middle Tennessee State, 51-45.
OK, right away, here are responses to your inevitable thoughts:
1. Yes, Middle Tennessee State.
2. It’s in Murfreesboro.
3. Conference USA.
4. Yep. Homecoming.
How did this happen? Well, I’ll tell you: DeMontie Cross’ defense looked abhorrent and slipshod, missing basic tackles, allowing an average run offense to run all over Faurot Field. The defense should not be this bad.
