WHAT’S AT STAKE?

Ninth-ranked Missouri continues its season-opening four-game home streak after beating Murray State 51-0 last week. The Tigers moved up two spots in the AP Top 25 despite their core players playing an uneven first half against the FCS school. They face a tougher test this week against the Bulls, who beat Lafayette 30-13 last week for their first win under new coach Pete Lembo. Missouri quarterback Brady Cook and wide receiver Luther Burden scored a touchdown in their opening game, but they failed to sink a couple of long throws that would have completely turned their game on its head.

KEY GAME

Missouri running backs Nate Noel and Marcus Carroll have successfully taken up the baton from Cody Schrader, who led the SEC in running last year before moving on to the NFL. The quick, agile Noel ran 11 times for 48 yards and a touchdown against Murray State, while the more downhill-running Carroll ran six times for 35 yards and a touchdown. Buffalo held Lafayette to 43 yards on the ground last week and should feature a much better defensive front.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Buffalo: QB CJ Ogbonna threw for 195 yards and two touchdowns without an interception in his first start for Buffalo. He spent two seasons at Southeast Missouri State before playing sporadically for the Bulls last year.

Missouri: K Blake Craig became the first player other than longtime kicker Harrison Mevis to attempt a field goal since Nov. 29, 2019, against Murray State last week. He was successful on 3 of 3 field goal attempts and had a perfect chance on six extra point attempts.
