LEXINGTON – Three keys to victory and a prediction for Kentucky football versus Missouri:
1. Stick to the run
Missouri ranks 26th nationally in rushing defense (114 yards per game), but the Tigers have surrendered 354 rushing yards in the last two games after holding four consecutive opponents to fewer than 100 rushing yards.
The recent run defense struggles coincide with an injury to senior linebacker Cale Garrett, who still ranks second on the team in tackles (43) despite missing the last two games.
