Undefeated in nonconference, Mizzou shows it's 'ready to play them real games'

COLUMBIA, Mo. — For a homecoming game, for a fifth straight win, for a 17th straight sellout, Saturday night inside Faurot Field seemed rather sluggish.

Not sleepy, per se. The No. 20 Missouri Tigers (5-0) racked up more than 500 yards of offense to beat the Massachusetts Minutemen (0-4) 42-6, staying undefeated in 2025 and wrapping up a nonconference slate in undefeated fashion. While the game lacked the drama of top-end clashes like Oregon knocking off Penn State or Alabama closing strong against Georgia, it wasn’t really a snoozefest.

Mizzou scored six touchdowns, three of which came from tailback Ahmad Hardy.
