Oklahoma has won 17 of the last 18 games against Missouri, including a 41-31 victory in October. However, things have changed since that game.
Oklahoma will be without running back DeMarco Murray and defensive end Auston English is a game-time decision. Murray is a big loss since he averages six yards a carry and leads the team with 15 touchdowns. Allen Patrick filled in nicely with 202 rushing yards last week. English has 17 tackles for loss and averages a sack per game. He has been inactive since an ankle injury on November third.
Missouri's running back Tony Temple was not able to play in the regular season game. Now he's healthy and is a legitimate threat running the ball. With Temple, wide receiver Jeremy Maclin and a typical Chase Daniel performance Missouri can win this game.
The View's Take
Had Ohio State finished the regular season undefeated Buckeye fans would be pulling for Missouri to win this game.
As it stands, a Missouri loss is the only thing standing in the way of the Buckeyes making it to the BCS title game. OU is now the surrogate OSU.
Oklahoma 35, Missouri 28
