Yesterday I tweeted about how much I like the Missouri defensive linemen and linebackers. In the past two weeks, Mizzou has faced two of the best runners in the Big XII, both 1,000 yard rushers. Yesterday Mizzou held Iowa State's Alexander Robinson to 56 yards on 14 carries, a 4 yard average per-carry (96.2 yards per game as of yesterday). Last week they held Kansas State's Daniel Thomas to 79 yards on 23 carries, a 3.4 per-carry average (105.4 per game as of yesterday).
The defensive backfield remains the soft spot, but I like the front 7.
