re: How important is the Missouri Game?

If you feel UK wins in Columbia and springboards from there, why not think 9 wins instead of 8?

Because Tennessee looks to have found their QB, I don't see us beating Georgia, and who knows what can happen in the UofL game.

Anything more than maybe 1-2 more wins is loftier expectations then we should probably have for a young, inconsistent team.

As far as Mizzou is concerned, their defense is good. Towles is going to have to be more selective in some of his throws and get the ball out of his hands instead of sitting back and taking the sack. With it being on the road and after a big game against State, it's going to depend on how they respond.

As to how important it is? It's probably a good benchmark of how far they've turned the corner but as I've said before they've already exceeded expectations whether they win out or lose out. So I don't think it necessarily has a bearing on going forward with this team.
