Missouri vs Texas Prediction

I’ll stay with Missouri. The Tigers got past a middling Arkansas squad pretty easily over the weekend, bagging 390 yards and 22 first downs along the way. On D Missouri surrendered 288 yards and 8-of-17 on third-down tries while coming up with four takeaways (three fumbles). The Tigers did commit nine penalties for 80 yards though, so it wasn’t the cleanest game in the world. Missouri is scoring at a great clip these days; they’ve got 24 or more points in all but one game this year (a 31-3 loss to Ole Miss on October 17 being the outlier).

As for Texas, they didn’t have too much trouble against an overmatched Mississippi State team last weekend. The Longhorns put up just 13 first downs, 60 rushing yards and a shaky 6-of-14 on third-down tries, though. Defensively is where Texas got it done, surrendering just 12 first downs, 187 total yards and 6-of-18 on third downs. The Longhorns now have consecutive wins after consecutive losses but they’re in for another challenging game here (with a road matchup versus LSU lurking on November 14 as well).
