COLUMBIA, MO. • Mizzou fielded a unique football team last season. The Tigers won a 9-6 game and lost a 9-6 game.
How often does that happen in the same year?
In all, MU’s feckless attack produced six single-digit point totals while ranking 126th among major college teams in total offense. So new coordinator Josh Heupel faces one of the most daunting challenges in the entire college sports industry.
He must add muscle and explosiveness to the offense and make it viable against elite Southeastern Conference opponents.
“We’re going to be a physical brand of football,” Heupel vowed after Mizzou announced its 2016 recruiting class.
