Mizzou football: Defense dominating, offense rolling

Troy didn’t take long to silence the Mizzou football crowd. The Tigers fans have been loud ever since.

The Trojans scored on their first possession, becoming the first team to score against the Tigers in the first quarter this season. But that’s pretty much all Troy accomplished.

Mizzou has controlled the first half, taking a 42-7 lead into the break. The Tigers currently have scored 42 unanswered points.

The story of this game would be how Mizzou’s top-tier defense could handle an opportunistic offense in Troy. The first half proved to be yet another A-performance.

You knew the first-quarter defense wasn’t going to be so dominant for the whole season.
