COLUMBIA, Mo. — Is another landslide win coming?
No. 9 Missouri is once again heavily favored in its second game of the season, a Saturday duel against Buffalo.
The Bulls of the Mid-American Conference have played the Tigers just once before — a 2008 Mizzou victory — and are a lower-end Football Bowl Subdivision program working through a rebuild.
MU, for its part, handled business tidily in the season opener against Murray State, though the Tigers’ coaches weren’t handing out any laurels to rest upon in practice.
If Saturday’s matchup gets out of hand, depth players could once again see some action, but there will be eyes on Mizzou’s starters as well.
