And thus, the dream matchup is set.
When looking at this 2023 Missouri football schedule, every optimistic Tiger fan yearned for a 5-0 start leading into a blockbuster matchup with LSU. Those fans have been rewarded for their faith, as Mizzou has leaped out to an unbeaten start and will welcome Brian Kelly’s streaky team to Columbia on Saturday morning.
The Bayou Bengals are battered and bruised following a 3-2 start to the year, but both losses came to top-15 teams. At the end of the day, LSU’s offense is still near-impossible to stop, and a premier program with its back against a wall is never an easy foe.
