Bye weeks aren’t supposed to be this stressful.
Regardless of where your team stands going in, the bye week should always be a moment to breathe. Is your team assured a bowl trip? Time to rest those starters and let the competition eat itself and award you better positioning. In the middle of a rebuild? Time to refocus on what the rest of the current season has to offer the future of your program.
But Missouri? Missouri can’t let us have this. Instead of enjoying a week free of worry and angst, Missouri has to give us reason to sweat.
