Some college football games are tougher to sell than others. And Missouri taking on a struggling Massachusetts team on the road is one of the more challenging ones.
The No. 21 Tigers (4-1, 1-1 Southeastern Conference) will enjoy some lovely fall weather in Amherst when they take on the 1-5 Minutemen at 11 a.m. Saturday, but that won’t transmit through the ESPN2 broadcast. Only the maximum 17,000 crowd will soak in the autumn sun.
