Nebraska prediction
Big 12 play has finally arrived for the Missouri Tigers, who are in Lincoln, Nebraska to take on the Nebraska Cornhuskers on ESPN National TV tonight at 8. Missouri has not won in Lincoln since 1978, but defeated the Cornhuskers last season in Columbia 41-6.
Junior offensive lineman Kurtis Gregory and senior safety William Moore should both be back in action on tonight. Both suffered ankle injuries earlier in the season, but practiced in full pads last week. The Missouri offense will head to hostile territory for the first time this season, and it should be interesting to see how the Tigers do with not only 11 men coming for them, but 90,000 screaming fans.
Last year's game against Nebraska set the tone for the defense for the rest of the season. Look for another statement game this week. The "Sea of Red" won't be enough this week to pull Nebraska to a win against Missouri.
Prediction: Missouri 42, Nebraska 17.
