Oklahoma vs. Missouri in Big 12 title game
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Oklahoma passed Texas in the BCS standings and will be Missouri’s opponent in the Big 12 title game on Saturday in Kansas City.
The Sooners defeated No. 1-ranked Missouri 38-17 in last year’s Big 12 title game in San Antonio after beating the Tigers 41-31 during the regular season. The teams have not played this season.
Texas, Oklahoma, and Texas Tech tied for the Big 12 South lead and the fifth-tiebreaker (BCS standings) was used to determine the title game representative.
So Mizzou’s defensive coordinator checks out during the Kansas game. How do you explain allowing anyone to run past you on a potential game winning play. It happened more than once. Will someone tell me what Pinkel has done since Illinois to improve the defense? I haven’t seen it. Also, Chase is a highly skilled quarterback. But his composure will define MU’s chance at an upset. Anything can happen, but let Chase drop his head or pout after an interception and we’re done.
My prediction: Oklahoma 48, Mizzou 24.
Allright… so we got Oklahoma now…. Well, I sure hope that Christensen comes up with the best gameplan he’s ever come up with for his farewell performance, cause we know that the defensive coach will take the day off, like he has all season…
Allright Pinkel… time to earn your new extension.. graduating 23 seniors, losing your offensive coordinator, should fire your defensive coordinator… all signs point to a dismantling of what you have built… Are you going to let that happen? Or heaven forbid, are you actually going to do something that you haven’t done your entire coaching career and actually make ADJUSTMENTS???
I wish the Tigers luck, but all I see is Oklahoma 56, MU 28
I began the season by sitting near the corner of the end zone at the Illinois game and watched one receiver after another burn our D-backs for scores right in my face; and I ended the season with similar seats at the east end zone at Arrowhead watching one receiver after another burn our D-backs for scores right in my face. Either we need to get a decent defensive coordinator, or I gotta get better seats.
