Yes, it does concern me. Missouri's ability to stop the Husker run game is one of the top 2 or 3 keys to this game. Especially with reduced depth on the D line.
See, now that wasn't so hard, was it?
Whatever you want. Folks on this board go on and on about how you can get "real" football discussion here. Well, there you go, do whatever you want with it.

:lol: You're friendly.
I would caution you, however. Just because your defense has gone from being an afterthought to a relevant part of your team does not mean they are now a formidable unit. The Blackshirts are formidable. Especially against the pass, which is where you all live. Your strengths play right into our fangs. You all have had a nice season up to this point, and you have a legit team.
But this Saturday is when the loss of Derrick Washington shoots an arrow into your hot air balloon. With Washington, I think you had at least a 50-50 shot of winning, and really, maybe even slightly better odds then that. Unfortunately, we all know what happened with one of your esteemed team leaders. You knew when you heard about it that it was a huge loss. You knew that there was a really strong chance that this development would have a detrimental impact on your season at some point.
Some point is one day and a shade under seven hours from now. The trudge to the bus will be with heads down, TigerNuts.
Heads down.

T-Nuts, i'll admit I was a little into the :wasted last nite on my rant, but at the same time, you got to kind of see where some of us are coming from, from the OP i took it as flaming. Statistically Yes, Mizzou looks awesome on paper, and they are coming into Lincoln with a chip on their shoulder, which they should, great win last weekend, no one is denying that. I think most of us are so hyped up about tomorrow, b/c a loss to Mizzou would probably smash any Big12 title hopes b/c of who Mizzou has left on their schedule. Big game for both sides, and would not expect anything less than the fans to be totally amped about this one. :cheers

You seem overly willing to sling the mud, then cry foul. If you want good football discussion, provide some of your own and stop rising to the bait of every single slight you perceive.

Finally someone said it,like it was. We all seem to have skirted the issue about Texas, and what should have been. Good post.

Yeah, I agree Mizzou has the 2nd best defense we’ve seen this year. But you could look at the rankings you have another way.Bad Breath said:
One reason Texas is ranked #6 in total D is because NU had a bad offensive day. Sure, UT is the best D we’ve faced. But if our WRs hang on to a couple of those TD passes the whole game might have been different. We would have had more points, more passing yards, it would have opened up our run game, and the Whorns wouldn’t be ranked #6 right now. And we were *real* close to breaking that game wide open. You could say we had it in our grasp. A couple of times.

Colorado – 74 & 100
Texas A&M – 16 & 36
Oklahoma – 18 & 24

What does this mean? Who knows but it shows that the Mizzou Defense has faced some pretty average offenses to help boost their defensive stats.

Can't argue with that logic. We did stumble against the one good defense we will face all year.
You wanna look at stats? Looking at the numbers here...I'm not overly impresssed. The TAMU game appears to be Mizzou's best defensive effort. But let's not forget that TAMU is now in the midst of upheaval regarding their entire offense. The "goose egg" against Colorado looks good...and sure helps with the ol' average there...but let's not forget that we're talking about Colorado.
Anyway...I guess my point here is that if you want we can compare numbers...I can probably find just as many that favor the Huskers as you can find that favor Mizzou. I suspect that's why they actually play the game on the field. Otherwise...grab yer 20-sider and we can play this out D&D style!! :LOLtartar
Oh...btw...the Husker's will be the best offense Mizzou has faced all year...
