Their powerful running game is a major driver of their high-scoring offense. •Missouri's defense has been particularly effective at limiting rushing yards, ranking 3rd nationally. They are also stout on third downs, allowing opponents to convert only 21.0% of the time, ranking 2nd in the FBS. Their overall stop rate, which measures how often a defense ends an opponent's drive without points, is also strong, ranking 19th nationally.
