Here were my keys for the game from last week, and how each team did with grades in parentheses. Thanks for putting up with me this week, and I look forward to posting here again in December!
5 grades, from best to worst:
(+ +) Succeeded
(+) Somewhat succeeded
(+ -) Neither succeeded nor failed
(-) Somewhat failed
(- -) Failed
==Keys to the game==
=Mizzou=
(-) 1. Get out to an early lead. Make OU throw the ball and play catch up.
(- -) 2. Play smart. Turnovers, special teams, etc. This is a key for any game, but especially this one.
(+ +) 3. Stop OU's running game as much as possible and hope for the best on the play action passes.
(+ -) 4. Find some semblance of a pass rush against your talented OL.
(+) 5. Play with intensity, especially on defense, which is tougher to do on the road.
=Oklahoma=
(+) 1. Pressure the QB without blitzing. How is your D-Line's pass rush?
(+ +) 2. Tackle well in the open field. The spread is all about isolating playmakers in the open field and letting them make plays. We do it really well.
(+) 3. Sustain long drives. Wear down our defense and keep our offense off the field.
