COLUMBIA — If you were to point to a game on Missouri’s schedule where its questionable defense would be exploited, Saturday’s game against Texas Tech might have been the one. After all, the Red Raiders entered Columbia averaging exactly 50 points per game and 500 yards of passing offense, both tops in all of college football. And they were facing a Missouri defense ranked 100th nationally in passing defense.
