Missouri goes 4 deep in the middle with quality guys, and the two reserves are probably better than the two starters. Ray and Golden are both explosive players who are effective against both phases of the game.
This is the best Missouri defense in my lifetime. With the emergence of Kenya Dennis (and change in philosophy to allow less cushion for WRs), there really are no weaknesses in that unit. And the front 4 is excellent (and 9 deep).
Missouri has held every team it has faced significantly below its rushing average (YPA) - yes, even Georgia. I don't expect that to change on Friday.
Question is what Missouri's offense is capable of doing. It doesn't need to be a lot... but can it be enough?

I called it a 13 point win, dunno if I call that a blowout.
Looking at the schedules these two have played, the Hogs are going to be more than ready. Hell, the Hogs could very well lose - it was only 3 weeks ago we were 0-17 in SEC play with this crew, 2-0 since then... I like our chances, definitely on a huge upward swing.
