Let’s get this out of the way: No, this isn’t the start any of us expected. Missouri comes out of its bye week with a record of 3-4. Three of the four “swing games” on the schedule were Kentucky, Boston College and Tennessee. The first two resulted in one-score losses on the road. The third resulted in one of the most humiliating home losses in program history.
The three wins on the season came against Cengral Michigan, SEMO and North Texas.
So, yeah. Not great. Certainly not what we were hoping for or expecting. And, aside from this weekend’s matchup against Vanderbilt, it doesn’t get a whole lot easier from here.
