Mizzou's Defense Shines with Historic Back-to-Back Shutouts
Missouri's dominant defense and key offensive performances secure a strong start to the season.
- Mizzou's defense has not allowed a point in its first two games, a feat last achieved in 1935.
- Defensive coordinator Corey Batoon's strategies have led to a stifling defense, allowing only 169 yards against Buffalo.
- Wide receiver Theo Wease Jr. stepped up with 13 catches for 149 yards as Luther Burden III dealt with an illness.
- Quarterback Brady Cook highlighted the team's depth and preparation, crucial for upcoming tougher matches.
- The team dedicated their performance to Eddie Kelly Jr., whose mother passed away days before the game.
