Last week's preview.
Being that I had meetings all day and just got back from the MU b-ball game, this will be short on analysis. That'll come in the preview tomorrow. For now it's pretty much just the numbers.
Let's get to it!

Once again, the third quarter seems to have Mizzou written all over it. But it would behoove Mizzou to have this game wrapped up going into Q4. That's when ATM begins to successfully wear down opponents' defenses.

ATM's receptions are pretty equally split between RBs, WRs, and TEs. That's probably not a good thing for them...and an overall 67.8% success rate for receptions is really poor.

ATM has an underrated D-line, and it does its best to mask a poor LB corps and a really poor secondary.

ATM is conservative, conservative, conservative. The downside of this is that, if they fall behind, they are cooked. But if they keep it close, especially early, the fact that they just try to move the chains and don't turn the ball over becomes an asset.
Statistical MIPs
Mizzou Offense: Will Franklin. He's Mizzou's biggest receiving homerun threat, and an early uppercut could open things up big.
Mizzou Defense: Ziggy Hood. Tommy Chavis and Stryker Sulak have gotten the most credit for the Mizzou D's resurgence, and deservedly so. But at this point, Ziggy is the best playmaker on the line, and if he can blow up the interior of the ATM O-line, Jorvorskie Lane ain't running anywhere, even if he does actually get to touch the ball.
ATM Offense: Gotta be the J-Train.
ATM Defense: Red Bryant. He's the D-line's best playmaker, and the line's the key, just like with Mizzou's defense...only for a very different reason. D-line is ATM's strength, and the only way they're slowing Mizzou down is if they get after Chase Daniel. Bryant is the most likely candidate.
