Pregamin' Arkansas State
Mizzou heads into the Arkansas State Red Wolves' den looking for a fight. They're going to need to come prepared, ASU is a sneaky good team. Channelling their inner-Neeson wouldn't be a bad idea. You should prep too. And by prep, we mean PREGAME.

Missouri's plan to play Drew Lock for one(ish) series per half worked out well for the Tigers against SEMO, well enough that it will probably continue. Meanwhile, one has to figure the zone read will soon have more of a presence in the run game.
