Confidence is a precious commodity these days. That’s something of a shocker considering how much optimism Mizzou fans started the year with. But we don’t make the rules: when you get beat by 31 points on national TV by a “lesser” opponent, you lose some cred.
Eli Drinkwitz and his team were able to bounce back in Amherst last weekend, but a different type of test awaits when Auburn takes the field later this morning. Hugh Freeze’s Tigers probably aren’t very good, but they’re talented and disruptive enough to give Mizzou fits if the black-and-gold can’t finally put their best foot forward.
