For Mizzou football, Stage 1 of the season is complete.
This week marks the first of two byes for the Tigers; their next (and last) week off during the regular season is scheduled for Nov. 2. In-between now and then will be a road contest at No. 24 Texas A&M, a trip out east to UMass, the Homecoming game against Auburn and a clash with No. 4 Alabama in Tuscaloosa.
As Mizzou rests and resets, now seems like a good time to check in on its remaining eight opponents. The trajectories are pointing in all different directions; let’s dive in.
