Texas leads the series 15-5. The last meeting was in 2005; Texas won 51-20 in Columbia.
Last week’s epic game between Oklahoma and Texas featured two high-powered offenses directed by phenomenal quarterbacks. This game should feature more of the same.
Chase Daniel’s bid for the national championship and Heisman trophy took a hit last week. However, Daniel is still ranked third in the nation in total offense and has the fifth highest pass efficiency rating. The Tigers’ offense is more than just Chase Daniel and his arm. Derrick Washington, Jeremy Maclin and Chase Coffman are a big reason Missouri’s offense is ranked third in the nation in passing, total and scoring offense.
Texas can equal Missouri’s offensive firepower with Colt McCoy, the running back duo of Chris Ogbonnaya and Cody Johnson and receivers Quan Cosby and Jordan Shipley. The Longhorns are scoring 46.8 points per game and were able to put up 45 against a very talented Oklahoma defense.
On top of the skill on offense, Texas’ defense is holding opponents to under 16 points a game. The Longhorns’ defensive line, led by Brian Orakpo, leads the Big 12 with 22 sacks.
The View
Texas’ defensive line will relentlessly put the chase on Chase Daniel and Colt McCoy and the Longhorns offense will find Missouri’s defense to be sub par to Oklahoma’s. Next week should feature undefeated Texas hosting undefeated Oklahoma State.
Texas 33, Missouri 24
