It wasn’t so long ago that Missouri won an SEC East title. Two, in fact.
The first time, 2013, was an offensively talented team with an opportunistic defense. The second time, 2014, was a stingier defense and an offense that did what it had to. With Drew Lock and his offensive weapons coming back for 2018, it looks like these Tigers’ most likely path to the top of the East — were they to get there this season — would more closely resemble 2013 than 2014.
So what can we learn about what it takes to win the East from champions past?
