Every year there are swing games on the schedule. A swing game is one of those games where you face a program in similar standing, where the outcome is a coin flip. Nearly every season Kentucky is a swing game for Missouri. Beating Kentucky doesn’t automatically mean you’re going to have a good year, but it’s now a sign that your year is going well. After beating Kentucky the first three years, Mizzou has only accomplished that goal once since 2015.
Some of those games have been close, some very close, some excruciatingly close. Only one game was a true blowout.
