I hate playing Conference USA opponents. It’s a better conference than it’s given credit for. If you win, you did what you were supposed to. If you lose, it’s a potential low point for the season. That was the prism through which I viewed Missouri’s game against North Texas.
Thankfully, they got the job done.
If ever there was a “ho-hum” game, this was it. The Tigers got out to an early 14-0 lead, and essentially coasted from there. The offense, outside of Tyler Badie, was... fine. The defense was opportunistic and the special teams were pure.
