MIZZOU QB CALLS HUSKER DEFENSE “LIKE HIGH SCHOOL“: The COLUMBIA (MO) TRIBUNE reports this week that “on nearly every one of Missouri’s offensive snaps Saturday, Nebraska was content rushing quarterback Chase Daniel with a three-man front.

“Daniel wasn’t sacked on 47 pass attempts and recalled just one time he was hit. He completed 33 of those attempts for 401 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions.”
Missouri offensive coordinator Dave Christensen had this reaction to the failed strategy: “I was a little bit surprised that they went just about the entire game getting pressure on us with a three-man rush. Obviously, it didn’t work very well. I don’t foresee Oklahoma doing that or at least making a living doing that.”

But Daniel was decidedly more honest, and blunt: “They’re very stubborn. Cosgrove’s a very stubborn guy. You can’t just play one defense the whole entire game. That’s like high school stuff that I faced in high school, so it’s nothing new for me.“
