Mizzou defense redeems itself in home opener
Mizzou defense dominated West Virginia a week after a poor showing at Wyoming.
The Tiger defense looked completely different at home against West Virginia. Just a week after giving up 297 rushing yards to Wyoming, they only allowed 30 yards on the ground to the Mountaineers.
This is the defense that Missouri fans expected to see in Week 1. A dominant defense that gives their offense extra opportunities.
The defense played four full quarters of good football. On West Virginia’s first three drives of the game, they punted and threw two interceptions.
In the second half, the Tigers forced four punts and returned a third interception for a touchdown.
