Hey guys, just want to talk about the Texas/Missouri game coming up this weekend. After watching a majority of Missouri and Texas games, I feel that these two teams are similar to the squads last year in the Big XII Championship (OU/Missouri)
So you think Missouri's offense is way too powerful for Texas? Missouri has scored 290 this year. Meanwhile, the "weaker" Texas team has has scored 281. Lighting up OU's defense last weak impressed me to the point where Colt McCoy is the leader for the Heisman IMO. Remember how bad Missouri looked? Oklahoma straight up took it to them and there was no way Missouri was going to win that game. What was the key? Defense and a good offense that kept Chase Daniel off the field. I know Texas' defense is lacking in the secondary, but Muschamp will have schemes to contain the Missouri offense. On defense, Texas has a big advandtage IMO, with Missouri giving up 128 pts this year, while Texas has given up 92. After watching Colt McCoy improve his game vastly from the last few years, I think this Texas team is very similar to the level of play that you saw out of OU last year and will be able to keep Daniel and Co. off the field. Colt is the key and I think the Longhorns will simply carry the momentum from the game last week and crush Missouri at home.
I was not surprised that it was Oklahoma State beat Missouri last week, but I was more surprised that it wasnt a team with a good defense. Texas defense will be key to their victory because if the game turns into a high scoring shootout, then Texas defense will be more likely to make a stop when they need it. Im going with
Texas -5.5 (5 units) *not locked in
