4. Dual Running Threat

The Wildcats like to hang their hat on their running game on the offensive side of the ball; Missouri is no different. The Tigers have two guys in the backfield that should have the Wildcat defense taking notice, with Cody Schrader and Nathaniel Peat.

The Tiger duo have rushed for a combined 832 yds, with 7 TDs to match. The Kentucky defense will be looking to silence the critics after allowing Tennessee to hang 44 on them last week. Missouri may not be Tennessee, but these running backs shouldn’t be forgotten.
