Missouri’s matchup with Kentucky on Saturday was supposed to be a bounce-back game for Tigers in only one sense of the word.
Outside of South Carolina, who Missouri took care of earlier this season, and Georgia, who the team has yet to play this season, the Wildcats are the only SEC East team that has consistently had the Tigers’ number throughout head coach Barry Odom’s tenure. Missouri hasn’t beaten Kentucky since 2014, a 20-10 win that saw Maty Mauk hit Bud Sasser with two second quarter touchdown passes to put the Tigers up to stay.
