Central Michigan vs. Missouri Football Series History
First meeting
Comments
Central Michigan was at least decent last season. They have all but one position starter returning and that includes the quarterback. Missouri has one of the best defensive lines in the conference. They are also among the top teams in number of returning starters (16) in the league and that includes their fine quarterback, Connor Bazelak, who passed for over 2,300 yards last season. I think Missouri wins this one by double digits.
