Eye of the Tiger, Week 3: Georgia Avoids Disaster, Tennessee Jumps Missouri
After a narrow 27-21 victory over now unranked Boston College, the Missouri Tigers stayed pretty close to steady in the polls. Most teams in the AP Top 25 stayed about where they were the week prior as well.
Not much was learned about the other teams in the top-25, but two SEC teams showed some clear weaknesses in two bad losses. The now No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs also struggled to hold off the Kentucky Wildcats on the road.
Even with a home win against the Eagles, the Tigers dropped a spot to No. 7 overall, with the Tennessee Volunteers moving into Missouri’s spot from last week.
The Eye of the Tiger Series breaks down the rest of the college football schedule week to week to analyze how certain outcomes could affect Missouri.
Vanderbilt: 36-32 loss to Georgia State
No. 25 Texas A&M: 33-20 win over Florida
UMass: 34-3 loss to Buffalo
Auburn: 45-19 win over New Mexico
No. 4 Alabama: 42-10 win over Wisconsin
No. 15 Oklahoma: 34-19 win over Tulane
South Carolina: 36-33 loss to No. 16 LSU
Mississippi State: 41-17 loss to Toledo
Arkansas: 37-27 loss to UAB
It was another not-great week for the SEC. The top of the conference didn’t skip a beat, minus Georgia. Oklahoma and Alabama looked better than last week and LSU came from behind to take down South Carolina. Two teams towards the bottom of the confence, Mississippi State and Vanderbilt, fell victim to upsets that could derail a season. The Bulldogs lost by more than 20 points to Toledo and Vanderbilt lost by one score to Georgia State. Both of those teams appear on Missouri’s schedule, as the Tigers host Vanderbilt in week four.
Alabama looked like Alabama, with quarterback Jalen Milroe starting to establish a connection with receivers Ryan Williams and Germie Bernard. The two receivers combined for 133 yards on only seven receptions. Milroe also looked to be his usual self on the ground, posting 75 rushing yards and two-ground touchdowns. When the Tigers take their trip to Tuscaloosa, they should absolutely expect their most daunting task of the season. Even with a new head coach in Kalen DeBoer, the Crimson Tide still have a high-powered offense with weapons at every position, with plenty of defensive talent that can pressure a quarterback and stop the run.
After struggling the week prior, the Sooners also looked to get back on track. Linebacker Danny Stutsman led their defensive unit with 12 tackles, shutting down the Green Wave offense. Quarterback Jackson Arnold still has yet to get into a pure rhythm throwing the ball, which might be something to monitor. He did throw 169 yards and a touchdown, but his interception dragged that performance down a little. Arnold, however, excelled in the running game, recording 97 rushing yards and two touchdowns to tag along.
Georgia walked out of Lexington with a 13-12 win on the night of September 14, but it sure wasn’t pretty. Kentucky was just disruptive enough on defense to give quarterback Caron Beck and company fits. Their quarterback, Brock Vandagriff, didn’t have his best performance either. Former Missouri receiver Dominic Lovett led all receivers with six receptions for 89 yards, but the only touchdown of the game came on a three-yard run up the gut from running back Branson Robinson. A Bulldog loss would have flipped the SEC on it’s head, opening the conference up for teams like Alabama, Tennessee, Ole Miss and Missouri.
No. 5 Ole Miss: 40-6 win over Wake Forest
No. 7 Tennessee: 71-0 win over Kent State
No. 9 Oregon: 49-14 win over Oregon State
No. 10 Miami: 62-0 win over Ball State
No teams surrounding the Tigers looked bad in their week three matchups and majority of their games resulted in a blowout. Ole Miss and Tennessee, the Tigers SEC companions who they won’t face, are more than certainly going to make a run at the playoffs. Both have explosive offensive attacks with talented quarterbacks to lead them. Jaxson Dart and Nico Iamaleava haven’t shown any signs of slowing down, either.
In an unrelated manner, the Arizona Wildcats were the only other team to lose, outside of Boston College, in the top-25. The Wildcats looked lost against Kansas State, who improved to 3-0 and moved up to No. 13 in the country thanks to the quarterback play of Avery Johnson. His dynamic ability on the ground is a spark for the Kansas State offense. Johnson’s athletic ability is one that not many quarterbacks in the country have and will help them get a leg up on opponents, especially in the Big 12.

Job Point YouthBuild participants demonstrated their construction skills and shared their personal stories at the Missouri Capitol in Jefferson City on April 21.
The event, hosted by the Missouri YouthBuild Coalition, brought together trainees, staff and partners from across the state, according to a community announcement. The day included hands-on construction demonstrations, youth-led advocacy and opportunities for participants to engage with policymakers.
A hands-on project
Trainees spent the morning constructing the framework of walls and portable chairs in teams, demonstrating the skills they are developing through YouthBuild programs in Columbia, St. Joseph and Cape Girardeau. At the end of the day, they assembled the walls to create a room, symbolizing the collaboration among trainees from different regions.
“It was a very good day. We had to build the chairs over there. I did a little measurement, cutting, all of that,” one Job Point YouthBuild student said in the announcement.
The experience highlighted not only technical skills, but also the importance of teamwork and communication, according to the announcement.
“Working together as a team, putting things together was exquisite. Communication was key,” another student shared in the announcement.
Sharing personal journeys
The event also provided a platform for participants to share their personal journeys. Many YouthBuild participants have faced significant barriers, including interruptions in education and limited access to employment opportunities. Through programs like Job Point’s YouthBuild, they are reconnecting with education, gaining workforce certifications and building pathways to meaningful careers, according to the announcement.
For students, the experience of participating in a statewide event and demonstrating their abilities in such a visible setting was both affirming and inspiring.
“I loved it! I had a great time. We built chairs. It was a good experience,” another participant said in the announcement.
Jerrell Morton, director of Job Point’s YouthBuild, emphasized the importance of visibility. Morton said in the announcement, “At its core, this day is about visibility — showing lawmakers, community leaders and the public what these young people are capable of. Our students aren’t just learning skills — they’re building confidence, leadership and a vision for their future.”
Addressing workforce needs
The event also highlighted the broader need for investment in workforce development initiatives like YouthBuild at the state level. Across Missouri, employers continue to report unfilled jobs and growing skills gaps. YouthBuild programs are helping to address that challenge by equipping young adults with practical training, work experience and the tools needed to succeed in high-demand industries such as construction, healthcare, IT and manufacturing.
For Job Point, participation in the event reinforced its commitment to empowering opportunity youth to overcome barriers, reclaim their education and achieve self-sufficiency and economic stability, according to the announcement.
“It’s a great experience. I love Job Point,” another student reflected in the announcement.
As the day concluded, trainees left with a new sense of confidence after meeting with their state representatives, senators and their staffers and standing up on the Missouri House and Senate floors, according to the announcement.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Missouri Supreme Court issued opinions Tuesday in two cases concerning the state’s latest redistricting map.
Both opinions found the map meets constitutional requirements. As it is already in effect, it will stay in effect.
“Today’s Missouri Supreme Court rulings are a huge victory for voters,” Gov. Mike Kehoe said in a statement. “Missourians are more alike than we are different, and our Missouri values — rooted in common sense, hard work, and personal responsibility — are stronger and far more aligned across both sides of the aisle than the extreme left-wing agendas pushed in states like New York, California, and Illinois. The Missouri First Map ensures those values are represented fairly and accurately at every level of government. This August, Missouri voters will head to the ballot box to vote for candidates in these newly drawn districts.”
The opinion in Elizabeth Healey, et al. v. State of Missouri, et al. stated residents failed to meet the burden required by Missouri law to demonstrate the map was unconstitutional.
This case raised an issue with Article III, Section 45 of the Missouri Constitution, which states that districts “shall be comprised of contiguous territory as compact and as nearly equal in population as may be.” But the court found the concerned residents were unable to prove the “legislature improperly deviated from the directives of article III, section 45.”
The second lawsuit, Jake Maggard, et al. v. State of Missouri, et al., took issue with which map was currently in effect. Residents gathered signatures they believed should stop the new map from going into effect until put before Missouri voters.
However, the court ruled unanimously that nothing in the constitution allows a referendum petition alone to automatically suspend legislation. It has yet to be determined if the referendum petition filing was “legal, sufficient and timely,” per the opinion.
Additional redistricting cases remain ongoing.
NAACP, et al. v. Kehoe will go before the Missouri Supreme Court on May 27. This case argues the governor didn’t have the power to call the “extraordinary session” in which the new redistricting map was adopted.
Additionally, People Not Politicians v. Hoskins will go before a judge in July. Though in a lower court, this case concerns the validity of the signatures people gathered to force a statewide vote on the map.
