This was supposed to be Missouri’s most anticipated season since maybe 2013-2014.
And how do we start it off? With maybe the Tigers’ worst loss since 2004 at Troy. Lesson learned: (editor’s note: is it though?) never schedule non-Power Five teams on the road! Nate Edwards said it best in his first season opponents preview, “Never schedule a pesky team. Wyoming is a pesky team.”
Missouri learned that lesson the hard way in a baffling and disastrous season-opening loss to the Wyoming Cowboys, falling 37-31 in Laramie.
