Vanderbilt game plan — Get the stars going, somehow. Vanderbilt is too talented running and catching to be struggling like this, and sometime this season the Commodores are going to figure it out, right? They’d like for it to be sooner rather than later. Vanderbilt must establish the rush behind Ke’Shawn Vaughn. Ole Miss had success running against Mizzou, so Vandy will need to rely on that to keep the game close. On defense, the linebackers are going to rush the quarterback. If they can get back there and disrupt the play from the beginning, they’ll have a much better chance at stopping Mizzou.
Missouri game plan — Mizzou would like to keep the ball in Kelly Bryant’s hands. Vandy will look to stop the QB running, but Bryant is passing well right now. The Tigers could look deep to get the ball down field. They can counter that attack by rushing the football up the middle behind Larry Rountree III, who is just 60 yards away from leading the conference in rushing yards. On defense, Mizzou needs to stop the run better. The Tigers know that. Look for the them to key in on Vaughn from the beginning.
