Missouri vs Baylor Highlights

Sorry this one is so late, but the Mizzou Football Replay Show didn't air until 1:00pm today in KC.

Missouri survives a scare from Baylor, escaping with a 31-28 victory and improving to 7-2 on the season. The Big XII North leaders still control their own destiny for a return trip to the Conference Championship Game, so survive and advance is all that is necessary.

And of course you know, if you're not watching it in high def then you suck at internet.

Pure greatness on the music choice

I agree...great music!

I was a bit surprised with how physical Baylor’s defense looked. They were getting some good hits in and rallying to the ball. Also, seemed like we had a handful of sacks…I’m glad the video edited out all of the things Baylor’s young QB was able to do against our defense….

I’m hoping to find the Mizzou game on somewhere in Chicagoland today.

Watching the BU-MU replay on Fox Midwest...

…I noticed three major things about the defense:

1) They sooooooooo ran out of gas on that first drive of the second half. Sure, they had given up yards in the first half, but they just looked a step slower after that drive. The long drive and the 4th-down conversions take it out of you really quickly.

2) I figured our strategy against Hot Tub Griffin III would be similar to what we attempted against Juice, and instead it really seemed like the exact opposite. Instead of trying to surround Juice and make him throw deep to get to us (which he did), we pretty much went into an umbrella defense on every play, content to give up 5 yards but making sure not to give up 50. That can work a lot of times if you come up big on the 3rd-and-3’s or 4th-and-1’s, or whatever 3rd-and-long you get, only Baylor made the plays in those situations. It was a very conservative gameplan, and that doesn’t really fit the strengths of this team. We don’t have a defense that is fantastic on every play (obviously), but we have aggressive guys who can make the big play, and the “don’t act—react” gameplan we had here just didn’t work.

3) Brian Coulter was probably the most active guy on the defense. LOVE seeing that.
