Game Notes | Missouri continues to dominate this rivalry lately, and looks to continue. They have won the last 5 convincingly, and are 21 point favorites in this game.
Oklahoma is heavy pass first team this year, under the helm of Junior Ricardo Flowers. Flowers has a 53% pass completion rate, against heavily inferior competition. He has 14 TDs and 6 INT, but has a bad habit of holding the ball too long and has been sacked 21 times, 3 more than anyone else in College Football this year.
Missouri's defense has 27 sacks this year. The only teams with more are USC (31), Louisiana Tech (30), and Toledo (28). Missouri's defense will no doubtly bring heavy pressure and create plays, and their secondary will be waiting, as they are 5th in the year with interceptions (8), and 1st with fumbles (10).
Missouri's Nick Bailey has only been sacked 5 times, and has a 62% completion ratio with a 12 TD to 2 INT ratio. Oklahoma's defense only has 5 sacks on the year, only ahead of Arizona (4) in the Big XII. They are tied for 110th in sacks with Colorado State, Idaho, Rice, and Vanderbilt. Bailey will get the time he needs, and this won't be close at all. |
