Missouri rush defense

[UKErik]

After seven games, the Tigers are allowing 218.8 ypg on the ground. That will probably rank somewhere between 105-110 nationally (once the weekly stats are updated by the NCAA). Yesterday, Missouri allowed 300 rush yards to the Blue Raiders on 41 carries (over 7 yards per carry). Exacerbating the Tigers rush defense issues are injuries to two key players, including their leading tackler. Not sure how severe those injuries are.

Just for comparisons sake, UK's rush offense ranked ahead of MTSU's heading into weekend action.

Speaking of UK, the Cats ran for 262 yards against Mississippi State. UK's season average on the ground is now up to 197. That should put them in the 45 range nationally.

GBB!!!

One more note. Mississippi State went into last night's game with the 36th ranked rush defense in the nation.

Sounds like Mizzou has reason to be concerned unless they have a good week in the training room, and perhaps in any event.

Cats shove the hobnail boot deep into Missouri.

We should be able to control clock. Setup play action win time of possession. In D we must be able to get a pass tush and iur corners will be put to work. Mizz likes to sling the ball around. If and we establish the run like we have I say we win 32-21 after all said and done.

Just run the ball, run it some more, and run it some more. Recipe for success. Just win the game, and get out of town.

Absolutely!

I like going on the road with a good rushing offense against an apparently weak rushing defense. Kind of flipping the script, huh?

I like it when we can get around 80 offensive plays or more!

That is the secret to controlling the LOS...
