So I was looking at Mizzou's schedule compared to last year...

Hector.sixpack · Apr 19, 2012

Average conference opponent defense last year was 83rd, this year (using 2011 stats) is 22nd.

Welcome to the SEC.

I hope those MF's win 4 games. Their coaching staff and players have been so arrogant about the Big 12 being just as good and probably higher pace. I read that one of their top players, forget who, said Texas would have beat Bama with a healthy McCoy. 17 those guys.

Dawg4Life · Apr 19, 2012

If they truly understand what they are in for?

BogeyGolfer.sixpack · Apr 19, 2012

playing teams with D-lineman that can run 4.6 and weigh damn near 300 pounds takes a toll on a team. I think it will take a year or two for A&M andMissourito adjust to the style of play we have in ourconference<div>

They only have to play 1 of the top 3 teams in the league from last year.

studentdawg87 · Apr 19, 2012

I know the Big 12 is full of "finesse" teams, but they played all of the Big 12 "powers" close last year. They weren't a bad team by any stretch of the imagination. James Franklin, their QB, should be one of the better QBs in the league.

I think the biggest adjustment for them and TAMU will be the grind of playing physical teams week after week. Neither of them has ever been hit in the mouth every Saturday. I think they will both wear down as the season progresses.

So I was looking at Mizzou's schedule compared to last year...
