Missouri‘s football team has had a relatively easy schedule so far, facing the 105th ranked opponents in the country. Despite this, head coach Eli Drinkwitz‘s team struggled to perform well in their narrow 27-21 win over Boston College and barely managed to secure a 30-27 overtime victory against Vanderbilt. While Missouri’s offense has been efficient, scoring an average of 32 points per game with a success rate of 49%, they have struggled to create big plays and rank poorly in yards per successful play and marginal explosiveness. On the defensive side, Missouri has been strong overall but has allowed some game-changing big plays.
In contrast, Texas A&M has faced tougher opponents, ranking 28th in strength of schedule so far. All four of their games against FBS opponents have been decided by less than 13 points. They lost their opener to Notre Dame but bounced back with victories over Florida, Bowling Green, and Arkansas. Texas A&M’s offense is similar to Missouri’s in terms of efficiency but also struggles with creating explosive plays and gaining yards per successful play. Defensively, they are not as strong as Missouri but still rank well.
