Missouri narrowly edges Troy in challenging home game

Missouri defeated Troy 27-17 at Faurot Field on September 19, 2026. While the Tigers secured the win, the performance raised concerns, especially in the passing game. Troy's offensive yardage exceeded that of Missouri, and the Tigers struggled on third downs, converting only 2 of 11 attempts. The decisive moments included a strong second quarter for Missouri, where they scored 24 unanswered points, primarily due to defensive turnovers. The team faces a challenging matchup against Mississippi State next week.
