Mizzou football has some exciting Week 1 games over the years, and some games that set the tone for an exciting season.

We now are just a day away from kickoff of the Mizzou football 2019 college football season. And it should be a good one.

Missouri has a chance to be a special team this season, and the Tigers believe they will be in the conversation to unseat SEC East foe Georgia. Saturday night’s game against Wyoming is the beginning of the year, a rare road outing to start this year’s campaign.
