The main numbers I see are

 

LSU - #25 in the country rushing and #43 passing

MSU - #13 rushing and #101 passing

Missou - #69 rushing and #113 passing

 

UK - #70 rushing and #39 passing - I like our chances.

 

I'm going Cats 21-10 - bowl eligible

Missouri wins 27-20.

Thanks for the info.

We are really looking forward to it.

It's going to be a fun weekend for me. UofL/FSU on Thursday night, travel to Columbia Friday, UK/Mizzou Saturday.

 

Sounds like an awesome weekend!

MU is 6.5 to 7 point favorite, according to oddsmakers.

I think the Cats lose a heartbreaker on a late Mizzou score.

Cats by 2td's

I was thinking of his brother and posted his name.

 

Either way Mauk has a great game and the Tigers win easily.

 

Was he on one of those obscure high school game films you obsess over?

Vandy coach has played both UK and MU this season. Lost to both by 10 points. He likes UK on Saturday. (Source: St. Louis Post-Dispatch story.)

MASON FAVORS CATS

 

Both Missouri and Kentucky defeated Vanderbilt by 10 points, which leaves one question for Commodores coach Derek Mason: Who wins Saturday’s game at Mizzou?

“Having played both teams, Kentucky is a really good team,” Mason said. “Missouri is a good team. Coach Pinkel does a really good job. Kentucky has a little more offensive firepower and defensively has shown me a little more in terms of what they can do ... they’re having multiplicity with their stunts and coverages.

 

“I think it’s going to be a fairly even match, but I give the edge to Kentucky.”
