A True Test for the Tigers?

If you ask the experts, they'll tell you the third-ranked Missouri Tigers haven't been tested yet this season. Even a historical 52-17 win in Lincoln--it took 30 years for the Tigers to get a win--isn't proof that the Tigers might be true contenders for the national title. Tomorrow the Tigers host the 17th-ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys, a team very similar to their own. The offense of the two teams rank among the top three in the nation. The winner of Saturday night's game could very well be the offense with the last possession.

A lingering question for the Missouri Tigers: is the defense good enough to stop Oklahoma State's powerful offense?

If Missouri wins, the Tigers will boast a 6-0 record and will face the Texas Longhorns in Austin next Saturday--a historical game in the making, the Missouri Tigers haven't won there since 1896.
