Mizzou in familiar underdog role : Dave Matter
The Tigers spent the rest of the regular season playing the role of SEC zombies. They came back from the dead and haunted the rest of the division, winning six straight games, four as underdogs. Over the last two seasons, Missouri and Alabama share the best record in SEC regular-season games at 14-2.

The last two years, the Tigers have beaten more bowl-eligible teams in regular-season play (13) than Alabama (12).

Ford, Jones and Kuligowski were also with Pinkel at Toledo and Hill was at Mizzou before Pinkel arrived and is in his 19th season in Columbia.

The Tide is also averaging just over 206 rush yards per game and netting about 37 points per outing. Their offense is extremely opportunistic, coming away with points on 50 percent of its drives.
TUSCALOOSA, Alabama - Everyone calls Jalston Fowler "Nudie," but the Alabama senior fullback had a better way of describing how he fits in Crimson Tide offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin's "toy box full of toys."
