35-0!? Another pretender bites the dust.

Colt McCoy is something else! The Heisman is his to lose. I can't believe he's really this good, especially after his dropoff last season.

I felt the same way last year. He bulked up and worked hard this past off season and it has really paid off.

And wow, what a crazy sequence of events on that last play - and Colt still came through!

So Mizzou avoids the shutout with the FG! A moral victory for the first half.

I never thought colt was this good. I thought Snead was better. I was wrong.

Mizzou is a joke......a paper tiger...a 2nd tier team, just like I said......

Texas and OU, those are the real forces in the Big 12, the others can win if one of them sleeps or suffers a major injury....but for the most part....

UT and OU.....are it, they are top tier.

And the SEC....Oooooovvvveerrrrraaaatttteeed.

I can't wait till next week.

#1 UT vs #8 (might be higher) OSU

Should be a fun game regardless of the result.

Anything can happen, and I'm certainly not stupid enough to say Texas can't win this game, especially at home in Austin. But people who didn't watch the Missouri-OSU game from start to finish really have no idea how much Missouri completely beat themselves. Wide open first downs bouncing off the hands for interceptions... point blank fumbles by OSU being ruled incomplete... two missed field goals by a guy who had never missed from inside 55 in the Big 12 in his entire career... inexplicable decision to kick a FG from the one-foot line... I could go on for days. Missouri, particularly offensively, had errors the likes of which I haven't seen in three years, combined.

Now, I'm not going to say anything negative about OSU. They deserved the win, and props to them. They've got a good team. The reason I mention those things is that when you look at a game and try to determine its predictive value going forward, you can't just look at the final score. You have to look at how it came to be, and I find it extremely unlikely for Missouri to have a game like that two weeks in a row, in terms of unforced errors.

Both teams are good here, but there's a reason Missouri was a top 5 team last season and was a top 5 team for almost all of this season. We're damn good, with NFL athletes all over the place on offense as well as a very strong front seven on defense. Texas is very good too, but anyone who thinks Missouri can't hang with UT is too focused on either one game or prestige and hasn't consistently watched both teams for all of this season and last season.

I think in Austin this is a tossup game, but I'm picking Missouri simply because I think this team is due and incredibly focused after the abomination that was last Saturday. I also think there's more of a sense of urgency with Missouri. If UT loses, they can come back, beat Missouri in the Big 12 title game and still play for the national title. If Mizzou loses, as far as the national title goes, we're done.

Mizzou 41, Texas 34

I'll even serve you the plate...

C'mon...tell us how Missouri out scored them in the second half, therefore being the better team. Missouri was nothing but overrated.

saw this coming.

There's always good fun in trash talking before a game but The Cat was doing too much to tout his team

I think I'm more shocked how good Texas is instead of how bad Missouri is.

this game is not what i thought it would be.

UT still has to beat a bunch of good teams obviously, but they look tough right now.

there has to be a few times this year that they will have there backs to the wall. actually i guessed that already happened a few times against OU who the hell knows.

Texas is so much better now than I thought they would be at the beginning of the year, and it is all because of Colt McCoy, that guy is amazing.

He is completing 80% of his passes for the season....that is hard to do against AIR......

Amazing......if he keeps this up, he may be the best QB that has ever played at UT...
