Missouri flexed right out of the gate with a 28-point first quarter in the 51-0 win over Murray State.
Suddenly, though, the schedule that looked so easy to start the season might be a bit challenging with Boston College and an interesting Vanderbilt team to follow.
Buffalo will collect the paycheck, but it’s well coached and has a few decent players. Pete Lembo won his first game as the new head main with a 30-13 victory over Lafayette.

Why Buffalo Will Win
Buffalo can’t keep up the scoring pace if Missouri gets off to a hot start, but it should be able to grind just a little bit and slow things down to a bit of a crawl at times. That’s not how it’ll like to play this season, but in this it might be a must.
Again, there won’t be a slew of explosive plays, but the running game has a deep group of backs and QB CJ Ogbonna can move.
