Week 5 Previews: Missouri versus UCF


Saturday, September 29 
12:00 PM Missouri at UCF:
This is a matchup between the Missouri Tigers of the SEC and Central Florida of Conference USA. Missouri enters this game at 2-2 after getting a rude entrance to the SEC losing to top 10 teams Georgia and South Carolina so far. The Tigers are surprisingly not so good on offense scoring only a high of 24 points after their opening game blowout win over Southeastern Louisiana. The defense is decent but struggles later in the game versus top tier teams. Central Florida enters this game at 2-1 with a loss to Ohio State sandwiched between two wins. The Knights are outscoring opponents by 14 points per game and need a healthy Storm Johnson at running back to pull the upset. This is the first overall meeting between the two schools with Missouri traveling to Orlando to face the Knights. Missouri has only lost to top 10 teams this season in Georgia and South Carolina and UCF is not quite on the level of those two teams. Expect UCF to hold tough to start the game but Missouri will pull away in the second half for a semi-comfortable win. Missouri 31-17.
