0-1 UAPB at 1-1 #24 Missouri

The Tigers were ranked #15 in preseason but a narrow loss to #22 Illinois dropped them in the polls.

DT Curtis Halterman is still out for academic reasons.

Pine Bluff looked strong in the first half but Mizzou put the pedal to the metal in the second half and left the Lions dusted. I didn't know it until after the game but Mizzou's QB is the top rated QB in the NCAA (95 ovr) and is only a sophomore. HB Chris Hoyte would have been the second 91-ovr HB we've faced in two weeks, except he went out with injury on his first kick return.
