i'm looking for Grix to break one this year...it has to happen soon, if ever
My son has been to two of their games so far this year. He says the defense is terrible. Can not stop anything. He also says Daniels throws a lot of interceptions and should have more than he does, at least 5-6 more that he has seen.
Wake's second string QB is suppose to be within and eyelash of their starter. For what ever that means.
I would have preferred a day game, but who knows.
I will be there, we leave Thursday nite. Bought season tickets just to go to this game basically. But will be moving there with in the next two years it seems.
Well, I have been to three Mizzou games so far this year, andI would agree with the assessment that the D is not good, however, I stick by what I said about our red zone offense.
As for the Chase Daniel interceptions, he has thrown a couple the last two games. They were forced throws, but I don't expect that to continue. If you look back beyond the last two games, Chase had thrown 200+ passes without an interception. I don't agree that he should have thrown at least 5-6 more interceptions than he has.

What is your schedule with scores, BTW
As I said in another post,
Missouri so far this season averages 544.6 yards and 42 points per game and ranks 12th in the Nation offensively.
Nebraska so far this season averages 474.4 yards and 35.8 points per game and ranks 26th in the Nation offensively.
Thats a difference of 70.2 yards and 6.2 points per game in favor of Missouri.
Missouri so far this season gives up 434.5 yards and 25 points per game and ranks 93rd in the nation defensively.
Nebraska so far this season gives up 408.6 yards and 26.6 points per game and ranks 78th in the nation defensively.
Thats a difference of 25.9 yards and 1.6 points per game in favor of Missouri.
HOWEVER
Missouri has played the 95th toughest schedule in the nation and has played (according to Sagarin) the #40, #85 #94 and #135th rated teams.
Nebraska has played the 33rd toughest schedule in the nation and has played (according to Sagarin) the #2, #49 #63 #90 and #104th rated teams.
Can Missouri win? Sure. It's in Columbia for one, but NU is simply the better team and if they play like it the game is NU's to lose.

Well, NU is the better team -- of this there can be no doubt. That is, NU has more talent --- better recruiting having had stocked NU with appreciably better athletes than MU. Not even MU fans who are honest could argue with that. However, talent and how that talent is utilized, how that talent is prepared and how that talent is able to play unified, confidant, and focused are two very different things. I cannot say how MU is in the area of preparedness, intensity, focus or gameplan, coaching. But I can say that NU is struggling in every one of these areas. If NU comes in with the level of preparedness, focus, intensity and gameplan that has characterized them this season then even though they have more talent, MU will win in a game that will not even be remotely close.
So, I guess that is to say that I agree. This is NU's game to lose.

I agree................this season seems like a step down from last and I can't figure out why.............oh yeah the defense. :lol: They got better in the last game so let's hope they take another step in the right direction this Saturday.As I said in another post,

robsker, you just could not be more correct. spot on.
I certainly can appreciate your well thought our post. But I have to respectfully disagree in a few areas. As far as talent, I don't think Nebraska has more talent than MU. Mizzou has closed the gap substantially the past 4 years on overall talent. When you look at the skill positions, MU is arguably more talented. I realize this comment can be argued in Nebraska's favor, but I can give statistics same as Neb fans to make my position. My conclusion to this is the talent on these teams is even.As I said in another post,

You can say you have out-recruited the Tigers, but recruiting is only as good as the players perform on the field. Recruiting may be the most in-exact science in the world! And more time is wasted worrying about recruiting than any other single item in College Football (by the fans).
I think these two programs are in a very similiar situation, talent wise and coaching wise. The big difference in fans perspectives, I believe, is this is definitely a step down for the dominance Nebraska had the majority of the past 35 years, while Missouri is starting to return to a program of some prominance.
Look no further than the last four years, 2-2 with both teams dominating at home.
Good Luck to the Huskers
