It's time to focus on our next foe, the Missouri Tigers. Missouri comes into town with high expectations this year. They are the pre-season favorite to win the Big XII north.
Last year Ole Miss played a horrible game in Columbia and the Tigers took it to the Rebs. This year the Rebels will be looking for revenge.
Missouri's first game was a lot like the Rebels' first game. They started off strong and fizzled towards the end. They held off Illinois in the last few minutes to win.
This will be the first trip to Oxford for Missouri. Ole Miss and Missouri played in Jackson in the 70's. The lone win against Missouri for the Rebels came in Jackson.
Here are a few Missouri resources:
Behind the Strips- A blog written by Dave Matter. Here are his early thoughts on the game:
As of this morning, I can't get a read on this game. Missouri's defense
overwhelmed Ole Miss last season, but with Adams managing the offense, I think
the Rebels will be in fewer third-and-long passing situations and Green-Ellis
will be more of a factor. I didn't think he was particularly explosive last year
when he rushed for 69 yards on 16 carries. Under third-year Coach Ed Orgeron,
whose weekly media conference is pushed back to tomorrow for the holiday, the
Rebels have gone 6-7 at home, with wins over The Citadel, Kentucky, Memphis,
Vanderbilt, Northwestern, La., State and Mississippi State. I'm leaning toward a
close Missouri victory.
