Can Vanderbilt’s Surge Silence the Tigers This Saturday?
Missouri was expected to be a strong team this season, and they come into the game with a 6-1 record and ranked as the 15th best team in the nation. Although those rankings mean very little in the grand scheme of things, it is important to give context of how the world views the clubs. I think they are deserving of their ranking, they’ve played consistently well this year, even against tough competition. Their lone loss came against Alabama, dropping that game by just a field goal. Last week was another tough one, but they escaped with a victory, getting a double-overtime win over Auburn. This time the game was on the road, and pulling out the win there was a big challenge. In this matchup, I expect the Tigers to look to pound the ball on the ground as much as possible. Ahmad Harvey, their running back, has already racked up 840 yards and 11 touchdowns this season. The offensive line will have a bit of a tough task against the Vanderbilt defense, but Harvey is talented enough to make tacklers miss and find the right hole to get big gains.Â
