SB Nation’s Missouri community, Rock M Nation, takes a look at the stakes of Saturday’s Tigers-Wildcats game in their weekly journey beyond the box score:
Missouri Vs. Kansas State: What’s At Stake
Let’s face it: with the results of the last two weeks, this Saturday’s game at Faurot Field has officially become the biggest of the season. A win erases the bad feelings from the trips to Lincoln and Lubbock and gets Mizzou geared back up for a run at nine or ten wins. A loss results in all-out panic. While there are likely no conference- or division title stakes in the works, this is a huge game, and while Mizzou will probably win if they play well ... they will need to play well to win. Kansas State still lacks for overall athleticism, but they have an offense that can wear down what has become a thinner and thinner defense in recent weeks, and they have a defense more than capable of taking advantage of mistakes.
