Nobody expects offense to be a problem in Monday’s Autozone Liberty Bowl. When Missouri and Oklahoma State’s top-20 offenses go against one another, it could turn into a shootout.
Unless the defenses want to do something about it.
The Tigers’ defense has improved throughout the course of the season and has seen the emergence of cornerbacks DeMarkus Acy and Christian Holmes, who MU coach Barry Odom has called the best tandem the position has had in “some time.”
Acy was voted to the coaches all-Southeastern Conference second team after finishing third in the conference in interceptions (three), pass breakups (10) and passes defended (13).
