Looking back at the previous games, it's clear that the Missouri Tigers have had a mixed bag of results. On November 26th against Arkansas Razorbacks, they suffered a loss with a score of 17-34 despite showing promise in certain areas of play. The punting game was strong with an average of 46 yards on seven attempts and two punts inside the 20-yard line. However, passing proved to be less effective with only ten completions out of twenty-six attempts and one interception.


In contrast, during their home game against Florida Gators on November 20th which resulted in a narrow win with a scoreline of 24-23, MIZ showed resilience and an ability to close out tight games. Their defense managed two sacks and thirteen tackles for loss while maintaining solid control over possession time (27:53). Furthermore, they were perfect in red zone efficiency with three successes from three attempts.


The most recent home victory against South Carolina Gamecocks by a score of 31-28 showcased MIZ's offensive capabilities as they amassed an impressive total yardage count of 438 yards including both rushing (258 yards) and passing (180 yards). This performance was marked by high efficiency in critical situations such as red zone conversions where they scored on three out four opportunities.


Based on these observations from past performances, it seems that when MIZ focuses on their ground game complemented by strategic passing plays; they put themselves in positions to win games. Their defense has also shown flashes of dominance which could prove crucial against Army's offense.


The Black Knights will certainly present challenges; known for their disciplined approach and tactical execution - but if MIZ can leverage their strengths effectively while minimizing turnovers that have plagued them previously (three turnovers against South Carolina), there is every reason to believe that they can emerge victorious from this encounter.


Fans should mark their calendars for December 22nd when these two teams will go head-to-head under the lights at Fort Worth’s Amon G. Carter Stadium. The action will be broadcast live on ESPN satellite channel number 206 – ensuring supporters won’t miss what promises to be an enthralling matchup between Missouri Tigers and Army Black Knights.
