Missouri passed their Week 1 test. It wasn’t a hard test, mind you, but it was one the Tigers absolutely needed to ace and they did. Awesome.
Their reward? A Week 2 road tilt at the dark horse XII contender, Kansas State. Bummer.
Here’s the preview I did on Kansas State in the spring. Based off of one game the Wildcats are exactly what I thought they would be even back then: a tremendous ground game with tons of option looks involving QB Adrian Martinez and RB Deuce Vaughn, sub-optimal passing game, and a strangling defense.
