Re: When the Defense Roars: Missouri Tigers Dynasty

Week 11 Preview: Put up or shut up weekend

#1 Oregon (9-0) is going to #2 Stanford (9-0) in a game that most believe will determine one half of the national championship game

#3 Michigan State (9-0) travels to Iowa (7-2) to try and lock down the Legends Division

#7 TCU (9-0) travels to #17 Boise State (6-2) to try and get revenge for their last loss, and also pretty much guarantee a perfect record for 2011. Kellen Moore will most likely be back for the Broncos though as he is currently Questionable.

Michigan (7-2) travels to #11 Illinois (7-1) to try and get into contention for the Legends Division incase Michigan State collapses down the home stretch.

#21 Texas (6-2) goes to #6 Missouri (9-0) to try and play spoiler much like they did to Nebraska back in 2010.


Matchup Preview *|* November 12, 2011

#21 Texas Longhorns
(6-2, Away)
#6 Missouri Tigers
(9-0, Home)
Game Notes
In 2009 the Missouri Tigers hosted the undefeated and #3 Texas Longhorns who routed them 41-7 enroute to a BCS National Championship Game.

In 2008 the #11 Tigers traveled to Texas and got beat down by the #1 Texas Longhorns as they traveled towards a Fiesta Bowl title.

In 2005 the Tigers hosted the #2 Texas Longhorns who destroyed them 51-20 enroute to winning the BCS National Championship.

This is the 4th meeting in a row where at least one team has a shot at going to the national championship. Texas is in the unusual role of spoiler, and will try to shut down James Franklin and get Garrett Gilbert going to take advantage of Missouri's weak secondary.
