Several years ago during the Daniel/Maclin and other star era of Mizzou football, there was a slogan saying "It's a Great Time to be a Tiger." If that was a great time, this is a Super time to be a Tiger. I don't know what more to say about the upcoming game against Oklahoma other than I can't remember a bigger game.
Why is this game a bigger game than the two Big 12 championship games? Because I think we have a legitimate chance to win on Saturday. In the past, I knew going in for us to have a chance to beat Oklahoma we would have to have a few turnovers/calls go our way and a number of outstanding plays by Maclin. For this Saturday we have an offensive and defensive line that can win the battle. We probably (or most certainly) don't have quite the caliber of talent on the line, but we are close. Close enough to make it a game in the trenches. And we have a QB in Blaine Gabbert who is ready to "show up" for the biggest game of his career. And how about our recievers? What more can you ask for than some of those catches they made down at A&M last Saturday....
My Keys to a Mizzou Victory:
-Blaine Gabbert given enough time to make his throws.
-The defense just continues doing what they have been doing. They will have some points scored on them, but they harass and pressure all day long.
If these two things happen, I predict we win.
