COLUMBIA, Mo. — Mizzou is off to its best start in five seasons, even if the method was a little too close for comfort.
The Tigers led by 13 points midway through the fourth quarter but had to hold on for a 23-19 victory Saturday night against Middle Tennessee State in front of a crowd of 57,645 at Memorial Stadium.
“Obviously a lot of stuff for us to improve on,” Mizzou coach Eli Drinkwitz said after the game. “But I’m gonna focus on the positives.”
Missouri leaned on explosive plays in a matchup that generally lacked offensive momentum.
