Missouri vs Vanderbilt Game Preview
Why Missouri Will Win
Vanderbilt still isn’t big on that whole scoring thing.
It’s dead last in the nation in averaging just 13.2 points per outing whether it needs them or not.
The team is able to battle from time to time, but it has yet to score more than 20 points in any SEC game and scored six or fewer in three of the four.

The Tigers have allowed 275 yards or more on the ground in five of their last six games, with North Texas the only team that didn’t get there and bombed away for over 300 yards.

It’s at home, Missouri really, really doesn’t do anything on defense, and …
