Texas Longhorns vs. Missouri Tigers Live Blog: Game Analysis, Reaction
Get Bevo a jacket because today's game is going to be a thriller and a chiller. The Texas Longhorns travel to Faurot Field to take on the Missouri Tigers in what should be a wild Big 12 match up. Missouri is coming off a heartbreaking 42-39 loss to Baylor and will be trying to get their season back on track. They are 4-5 overall with a 2-4 record against Big 12 opponents.
Texas wrapped up a 52-20 beat down against Texas Tech and looks to continue their brick-by-brick recovery from last season. True freshmen David Ash and Malcolm Brown have exceeded expectations and should have a great game this afternoon. They are 6-2 overall with a 3-2 record against Big 12 opponents.
If you're a fan of rushing attacks then this will be the game for you. Here's a look at how each team is performing in these offensive and defensive categories:
| Passing Yards | Rushing Yards | Points For | Points Against | |
| Texas | 1526 | 1971 | 34.4 | 21.5 |
| Missouri | 2296 | 2194 | 34.9 | 26.7 |
Although Texas trails in 3 of those categories, they are 11th overall in rushing yards per game in FBS play while Missouri follows at 12. The rushing game will be very important for both teams but expect Bryan Harsin to work his magic and create points against this Tiger team. They almost gave Oklahoma a run for their money so don't expect them to let the Longhorns have a field day.
