As the college football season enters its final stretch, the Southeastern Conference (SEC) remains one of the most competitive and intriguing leagues in the country. With Week 14 underway, fans and analysts alike are taking a closer look at the efficiency ratings, rankings, and predictions for the remaining games.
One team that has caught the attention of many is the Missouri Tigers. Despite their efforts, the Tigers’ production has been below last season’s levels, leaving many to wonder what’s gone wrong.
According to the latest efficiency ratings, Missouri ranks 10th in the SEC in overall efficiency, with a rating of 74.2. This is a significant drop from last season, when the Tigers finished with an efficiency rating of 84.5.
So, what’s behind Missouri’s decline? One major factor is the team’s struggles on offense. The Tigers have averaged just 24.5 points per game, down from 31.4 points per game last season. Their passing efficiency has also taken a hit, with quarterback Brady Cook struggling to find consistency.
On the defensive side of the ball, Missouri has fared slightly better. The Tigers have allowed an average of 25.8 points per game, which is actually an improvement from last season’s average of 28.5 points per game. However, the team’s rushing defense has been a major concern, with opponents averaging 4.5 yards per carry.
The Arkansas Razorbacks, Missouri’s Week 14 opponent, are also struggling to find consistency. The Razorbacks have a 5-6 overall record and are 2-5 in the SEC. They’ve had some bright spots, including a 21-19 win over Ole Miss in Week 10. However, they’ve also suffered some tough losses, including a 45-19 defeat at the hands of the LSU Tigers in Week 11.
Given their struggles, it’s difficult to predict a strong finish for either Missouri or Arkansas. However, both teams have shown flashes of brilliance at times, and it’s possible they could pull off an upset or two.
