Keys to a Texas win vs. Missouri: Early lead, Explosive offensively
Texas is gearing up for another Top 25 matchup, this time on the road at Missouri . The Tigers are sitting at 6-2 like Texas, coming off a comfortable win over Arkansas. Ahmad Hardy returned to the field last week, adding to an already elite run game but it’s unknown how much he’ll play in this one.
