Well...it’s Vanderbilt week again. One of the few holdover SEC East foes still on Mizzou’s schedule, we’re all very familiar that the Tigers usually win this game but rarely is it easy and, yes, even Vandy wins sometimes.
2012 Vanderbilt is the only version that came into Faurot Field and won, though. And we all know 2012 was an injury-riddled disaster.
The 2023 Missouri Tigers seemed to exorcise the demons of the prideful 2019 team that came in freshly ranked and left Nashville with an upset loss. But now the Commodores have a chaos agent at quarterback, one of the best giant-killer coaches on staff as an advisor, and a bunch of transfer players that have elevated the play of the traditional SEC doormat program.
