I don’t look forward to FCS week.
Very few good things come out of it. Your hope is to not get anyone hurt, get some reps in for your backups, and win big. Obviously you don’t want to have to suffer through a performance like Kentucky did against Chattanooga, and you definitely don’t want to end up on this list either. Here are the recent FCS week scores for Missouri:
- 2019 — Mizzou 50, SEMO 0
- 2018 — Mizzou 51, UT-Martin 14
- 2017 — Mizzou 72, Missouri State 43
- 2016 — Mizzou 79, Delaware St 0
- 2015 — Mizzou 34, SEMO 3
So outside of Mizzou’s historically poor offensive performance in 2015 (yeah that was a tough year) and their historically poor defensive performance in 2017 (that year was just an odd year since Mizzou started 1-5 and the one win was against Mo State), Mizzou is basically creaming their FCS opponent by making the games uncompetitive before the end of the 1st quarter.
