Missouri Tigers Rise, Face Tough Gauntlet | Missouri Tigers Football News

Missouri Tigers surge back into the Coaches Top Twenty-Five at No. 25, a major leap from last year’s preseason snub and a sign of real growth under head coach Barry Odom. The Tigers face an unforgiving stretch with five top-ten opponents—including Texas A&M, Ole Miss, Texas, Georgia, and Oklahoma—in just seven games. Even with lighter matchups against Arkansas and Kentucky, every game is a battle in a loaded SEC with nine teams ranked in the top twenty-five. Individually, the team shines: running back Ahmad Hardy (Maxwell Award watchlist), offensive lineman Cayden Green (Outland Trophy), and long snapper Brett Le Blanc (Patrick Mannelly Award) all earned preseason honors—and Green and Hardy made the All-SEC First Team. This roster depth and resilience could be the key to surviving the gauntlet. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
