COLUMBIA, Mo. — It’s time to see whether the Missouri secondary has improved.
How the back end of the Tigers defense can hold up will once again be tested at 11 a.m. Saturday, when No. 14 Mizzou (5-0, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) hosts No. 8 Alabama (4-1, 2-0) and its dynamic passing attack.
MU is well aware of the issues it has had with allowing explosive pass plays this season — as are those who have watched this defense in action. The secondary was a flaw, just not a fatal one, in wins over Kansas and South Carolina.
