He's just a Freshman and not even starting. That tells you the depth that Mizzouri has on defense.

No question MU can win in Lincoln.

Can? Absolutely. Will? I dunno.

I'm encouraged though. I like the matchup of our D versus that Nebraska offense. (Never thought I'd say that.)

I'd be a lot more confident if it were a home game for Mizzou.

Both defenses match up well against the offenses. MU's defense is giving up 3.5 ypc, and that includes the 170 yards SDSU's RB had on two plays. Nebraska basically plays a base dime, and they are geared towards stopping spread teams.
