Missouri football has had a couple close calls. The Tigers had to come from behind to beat a ranked Boston College team Sept. 14, but probably could have had that one-score game finished earlier. Then, Mizzou went all the way to double-overtime before seeing off Vanderbilt last Saturday. No. 11-ranked Missouri is surviving, but it isn’t quite thriving. Busted coverages …

SOUTH BEND — Louisville, ranked No. 17 nationally in the US LBM Coaches Poll, has yet to commit a turnover through three convincing wins.
