Last year: 6-7 (3-5 SEC.) Missouri actually started the season 2-4, rallied to get bowl eligible, and then put in a poor performance in a loss to Wake Forest in the Gasparilla Bowl. Nothing really stood out about them; they ranked 86th in the country in scoring offense and 56th in scoring defense. The offense wasn’t good, the defense wasn’t particularly good either, and they managed to squeeze six wins out of that by beating the trio of Louisiana Tech, Abilene Christian, and New Mexico State, then winning three SEC games by a total of 18 points.
