It’s officially game week! After one of the more exciting offseasons in recent memory, a Missouri team, fresh from an offseason of recruiting victories, is heading into a season full of optimism and determined for some on-the-field wins to maintain those recruits who have bought in to the #NewZou. So we start with the first game: a home tilt against a feisty MAC team that has won the MAC in the past two years and boasts a former SEC coach who tends to work wonders with G5 rosters.
The offseason preview of Central Michigan is right here; since then they’ve seen some roster churn - both positive and negative - with some new faces stepping up to (likely) be hitting the field on Saturday.
