What were you doing the last time Missouri lost a true road game?

That may seem like a silly question to ask, but it has been more than two years since the Tigers fell on the road (last loss was in the team’s final game of 2012, the school’s first in the SEC). Missouri currently has a school-record 11-game road winning streak, making it the third-longest active streak in the nation behind only Ohio State (14) and Florida State (13). The Tigers hope to make it 12 when they play Kentucky in Lexington on Saturday.

To make it happen, though, the Tigers will need to perform on all cylinders – especially along an offensive line that has struggled to provide holes for its running backs. As you’ll read, two key players in this matchup are veteran offensive linemen that fans expect to play at the next level in leading Missouri’s offense.

Here are five players to watch for the Tigers:

1. DE Walter Brady – The redshirt freshman had a monster game last week against Connecticut, tallying two sacks and a quarterback hurry while consistently getting into the backfield. Brady was just elevated to a starter at DE because of that performance. Kentucky’s offensive line has been miserable this season with the Wildcats giving up an SEC-high 10 sacks in three games. Still, Kentucky’s overall talent will be a step up compared to what Brady and Missouri have faced this season. It will be interesting to see how he responds.

2. RB Russell Hansbrough – It’s still not a complete certainty that Missouri’s top running back will play, but Tigers fans sure hope he does. If Hansbrough takes the field in Lexington, all eyes will be examining how he looks. The senior was hurt in Missouri’s opener, then re-aggrevated his injury at Arkansas State and sat out against Connecticut. For the sake of Missouri’s season, Hansbrough can’t make his injury worse.

3. LT Connor McGovern – Missouri’s running game has been terrible in Hansbrough’s absence. A large part of that is due to inconsistent play and injuries among Hansbrough’s backups, but the run-blocking hasn’t been too consistent either. McGovern may be Missouri’s top offensive lineman, but Missouri offensive line coach A.J. Ricker said this week that he wishes the Tigers had enough depth at tackle to move McGovern back to guard. Ricker didn’t seem to indicate such a move would come at Kentucky, but McGovern and the left side of the line need to step up in any case.

4. P Corey Fatony – The freshman punter started off brilliantly for the Tigers and was a top five punter in the country in net yardage after two games. But Fatony’s play (like the rest of the Tigers’) dropped off against Connecticut. He averaged just 39.2 yards per punt after averaging close to 48 in the prior two games. We’ll see if the freshman can get back to his old self as he punts in his first-ever SEC game.

5. C Evan Boehm – Like McGovern, Boehm is a top offensive lineman. But also like McGovern, Ricker and the Tigers need Boehm to step up his game and get Missouri’s offensive line in order. Boehm and quarterback Maty Mauk have had great chemistry over the past three years but now that chemistry needs to expand to the rest of the line and Missouri’s backup running backs. Boehm’s mobility will also be worth watching as he was apparently still aggravated by an ankle injury earlier this week.
