For the last 2 seasons Chase Daniel & Jeremy Maclin have had their way with the Cornhuskers in blowout fashion. Gary Pinkel's terrific tandem have now moved on to better pastures & this is no better time for Bo Pelini & Nebraska to come into Memorial Stadium in Columbia to execute a little revenge. Bo has successfully resurrected a 5-7 team by quickly converting them into a winner finishing the 2008 campaign @ 9-4 with a close out bowl win over Clemson. Nebraska could very easily be 4-0 if they held on @ Virginia Tech 2 weeks ago but got nipped by 1. First year Mizzou' QB Gabbert looks flawless with a 11/0 TD/INT ratio but played 4 soft defenses. The Tigers have covered just 2 of their last 8 @ home and are 4-26 SU in this series. The numbers also show Missouri being an ugly ticket-ripping 3-10 ATS @ home when off a SU & ATS win as a road favorite. Nebraska is looking for that signature win to push them to another level and they're out to prove it tonight. Versus an undefeated conference opponent off a double-digit win, the Huskers' have surely thrived by going 15-3-1 ATS when settled in this situation. Nebraska nearly outgains Missouri by 2 yards per rush and were up against a tougher schedule. Now you know why The Real McCoy Stands Up Here play is to invest $200 on the Nebraska Cornhuskers to pull out a signature win.
