| Game Notes | Missouri holds the 5-2 advantage in their series, and now that it is a conference matchup many are thrilled to see how this close series goes over the next few years. Missouri has won the last three games 70-28, 52-0, and 30-9. This one also looks to be a high scoring affair.
Missouri is the heavy favorite, but ASU only lost in a shootout to now #18 Arkansas (5-0) by the score of 55-48. ASU has not scored less than 37 points all season, and besides Arkansas had not allowed a team more than 34 points.
It will come down to how Missouri's defense can hold ASU. If the front 6 can hold then Missouri should easily win this one. Otherwise goodbye national title hopes for the Tigers. |
