Tell Me If I'm Wrong But This Is Why Mizzou...

No I'm saying VT has a harder schedule than Mizzou.
True, they do have a harder schedule than Mizzou but the point I am making is that Nebraska's rushing game is not as good as Nevada's. Yet Mizzou has faced the #3 rushing team in the nation, in Reno. I think if they can hold the Corn Fed Huskers, then that'll be the difference.

Nevada has a particular pistol offense that isn't what Mizzou faces in the Big 12. That was an advantage to Nevada running the ball against them.

Also, teams have loaded up against the run, such as ULL, against Nebraska and allowed Lee to torch them through the air. When you have a guy throwing 85% completions, you keep letting him toss the rock. And you can reference the VaTech game, but he had two injured thumbs in that game and clearly wasn't himself the 2nd half.

bro,
I hate to say it but you're really digging deep on this one. I could say the same about Mizzou's offense. Nebraska hasn't seen an offense like Mizzou's until today. ULL surely doesn't have this type of offense that Pinkel runs. What about Ark St.? Do they have Mizzou type offense?

CSU & ND was able to hold Nevada to 150 & 175 yds rushing. Don't say Nevada's offense is not predictable. That's why there is game footage that you watch before you actually play the game. I'm sure Mizzou is doing the same for Huskers vice versa.

Oh yeah & one more thing. Guess where Gabbert & Zac Lee are ranked in Big 12???
1. Blaine Gabbert, Missouri - % comp = 66.41 Int = 0 TD = 11
3. Zac Lee, Nebraska - % comp = 64.76 Int = 3 TD = 7

All courtesy of ncaafootball.com

So please don't say someone completes 85% of their passes if it's not true. I don't care if he passed for 85% against ULL, that's apples & oranges. What was his pass percentage against VaTech?? Then you'll have credibility.

best of luck with your Mizzou play

I know more about Nebraska's team than anyone else on this forum, I can assure you of that. You can keep digging up statistics to justify your play, but there's much more to a game than the numbers from non-conference games. Sure, my 85% was a bit off, but I also clarified that I excluded VaTech's game where he played hurt with two bad thumbs. He was 15/18 last game, which is 83% for that particular day. The game against VaTech will be the big difference, as Lee has faced a harder defense than Mizzou can ever hope to be, and Gabbert hasn't faced anyone on that caliber yet.

Nevada has been in top 5 of country in rushing da last 3 years despite playing top opp such as mizzou, nd , etc. Obv my stats show how much huskers ran on vatech jus like how nevada racked up the same amt on mizzou but nevada is a better rushing team than huskers. Please xplain


Nevermind that Nevada's star all-conference RB Taua was hurt in the 4th play of that game and Nevada was running their backup, a 6th year senior slug coming off about 2 dozen knee surgerys the rest of the game, and Missouri still shoulda lost if it weren't for a miracle fumble on the goal-line.

Missouri's defense is hideous. They gave up a pile of first downs to Furman for crying out loud. Va Tech would never let that happen. Missouri has faced a godawful Illinois offensive line, Bowling Green, and Furman. Comparing Mizzou's D to Va Tech's is lunacy.

They are going to get blown up here.

Agree with everything in here. Missouri's defense is a almost a complete debacle. I believe they are starting 5 or 6 RS Freshman or Sophs on defense.

Sekrah,

The RB in question that Nevada went with after Taua was injured was Lippincott who was the starter last year before blowing up his knee. Lippincott is the same guy who ran for well over 1,000 yards in 2007. Va Tech may not give up a pile of first downs to Furman but they did to Duke. Understand when those first downs came. Most came after the Tigers were up 42-0. Just saying.

Are they a debacle because they start 5 or 6 young guys? Or is there something else you are basing this analysis off of.

Lippincott is a slug! He's a shell of his former self. There's a reason he isn't the starter as a 6th year senior.. 2 years ago, he woulda been comparable to Taua, but Taua is 1000x better than Lippincott is now.

Yea Rondawg, I'm going to hold your f'cking feet to the fire if you're going to try to challenge the facts.

Furman had 6 first downs in the first fucking quarter. 5 First downs in the second quarter. 11 in the first half. 22 in the game.

If you're going to come in here and spout, you better bring it. Because I only deal with the facts.

I lie MIzzou in this situation but I am concerned about the weather killling their passing game. If it becomes a muddy mess I really do not know who will have advantage.


Turf

AHHHH that is a very good thing to know

Sek,
First downs don't matter if you're redzone offense is not converting (Which Furman did not do). You have to finish the job that you start. There is no denying that Mizzou's defense is on the slow rise, but you have to admit that athletes play better on their own home turf in front of their home crowd in a sellout stadium on a primetime game that will be televised on ESPN TV.

Nebraska has played the likes of ULL, Ark St & some other God awful Sun Belt team. Yes, they were tested once, but I don't believe once is enough until they prove themselves on a consistent basis. If they show up tonite & beat Mizzou by 7 or 14, then I will change my opinion of them. Until then, a 19 pt swing from last year is a helluva lot of points to be getting.

GL to you Sekrah.

Please do hold my feet to the fire oh smart one. According to ESPN's play by play they had 5 1st downs in the 1st Qtr when it was 14-0. One of those was by penalty. They had 1 more in the 2nd qtr. before it was 28-0. They then had 2 more before it was 35-0. They had 2 more before it was 42-0. Yes I see what you mean. Also as you said you have watched them and they are terrible. Did you watch last night? Is that still your assessment? If so then Nebraska's d must be terrible as well. Basically the same stats.
