WHAT I...
LIKE: Well it seemed as if the Tigers got back to the fundamentals of the game. You know the blocking, catching ,tackling, running etc. They came out smoking and didn't let up on the steam until the final whistle went off. Gabbert to Alexander for the touchdown, is my new saying. These two guys, off course with the help of the team, have shined on many occasions throughout this season. Alexander 10 rec 200 yds and 3 TD's IS one of the top wide-outs in the country. He continues to dominate and will leave his mark in MU history books. Of course with Alexander numbers, you have to give credit to the QB and O-Line for playing a solid game. The defense bounced back as well. As I stated before I think that the Tigers have a future in Aldon Smith at end, as well as a good ball player in Will Ebner at linebacker. The special teams was sound and solid, and as I know that's what any good coach is looking for at the least from its special team.
DISLIKE: When a team comes out and play a solid all around game, it's kind of hard for you to find something to dislike. I'm no hater by any means, so that mean it's kind of hard for me to dig for dirt and hate just to say that I disliked something about the game. I can say this, that the Tigers played a remarkable game, and what ever happened that I disliked, was over shadowed by my likes! Great Job Tigers!
SUGGEST: I'll say it again. Way to go Tigers! Build off this momentum and finish the season strong. With a even playing field in the Big 12 this season, only so many bowl games exist for only so many Big 12 teams. With almost all the teams having identical records, which are bowl eligible, the Tigers need to run the table and get the remaining of the wins on their schedule to be able to get a bowl game this year. Although Mizzou has a great advantage with fan support and a growing program, the bowl committee will still need to see WINS from MU for the rest of this season. MU goal is a bowl!

MU vs Nebraska
WHAT I....
LIKE: Well there wasn’t too much that I liked about this game. The team started and finished slow. The defense played well for 3 quarters, but didn’t when it really mattered.
DISLIKE: My first worry, which played into my prediction, was if the Tigers come out slow as a team that they will lose. No I wasn’t wishing bad luck on my Tigers, I was just being honest as a guy who have been there and done that. Yes sometimes you can get away with starting slow as a team on less stellar opponents, but when you play good teams such as Nebraska, you have to come out smoking. I was disappointed in the offensive play calling. At times it seems as if the O coordinator was nervous up in the booth. To me it looks like they compressed their game plan, to help out Nebraska. The offense had a chance to play defense in this game and help the team when. What I mean by that, is when the Tigers where up 9-0 going into the 4th quarter, the offense should have been running the ball to kill the clock and control the tempo of the game, especially when you have a one legged quarterback at the helm. The O line disappointed me, in not being able to control the line of scrimmage. Just to be honest with you, I think that they where man handled by the Huskers d-line. The Tigers running game was absent at best. D Washington seems to be just a step slow on all of his running plays. I don’t know if it was the weather or what, but the run game was smothered. Defensively, the Tigers played good for 3 quarters, but collapsed when they where really needed. For three quarters, I saw a team that was running and hitting and totally shutting Nebraska down. But once the 4th quarter rolled in, the D-fense rolled out. It seemed like a totally different team out there playing. Giving up big plays, 27 points in like a 5 minute span. That’s just unacceptable. Although the D played well for three quarters, in the game of football, it’s not about how and where you started, but how and where you finish!
SUGGEST: It’s simple, shake it off and move on. The Tigers have two big games coming up with no time in between to pout and dwell on this lost. You know the saying, it is what it is. Learn from this game and continue to grow as a team. Learn how to start fast and finish strong. Football is a 4 quarter game, and with the remainder of MU schedule, they will have to play each team from quarter 1through 4! Learn how to do that as a TEAM!
