The Missouri Tigers defense has been impressive to start off the 2024 season.

They are the only team to hold both of their first two opponents scoreless so far this season, defeating the Murray State Racers 51-0 and the Buffalo Bulls 38-0. Neither opponent came particularly close to scoring, either.

Led by linebackers Corey Flagg Jr and Chuck Hicks, as well as defensive tackle Kristian Williams and defensive end Johnny Walker, Death Row Defense has only allowed 254 total yards through games. It seems as if both the Racers and Bulls have barely made end zone trips, as well.
