Let’s visit the Big 12 this Saturday where the Nebraska Huskers will be hosting the #4 Missouri Tigers. The Tigers have a National Championship on their minds, while the Huskers hope to play the spoiler.

Quarterback Chase Daniel has led the Missouri Tigers to a 4-0 record so far this season. Their offense is on fire, ranking second in the nation in both scoring and total offense. What may be fresh on their minds coming off their bye week, however, is that they haven’t defeated the Huskers in Nebraska since 1978. That’s 15 losses in a row when playing on the Huskers’ field.

Bo Pelini, Nebraska’s first-year head coach, says his team’s goal will be to keep the Tigers off the score board. The Huskers were not able to do that last season when Chase Daniels threw for 401 yards and 2 touchdowns at Missouri. But with their streak of 15 home victories against the Tigers spurring them on, maybe the Huskers will be the team bringing the big upset this weekend.

Will the Missouri Tigers continue their offensive dominance, or can the Nebraska Huskers knock them out of the top 5? Take our poll and let us know what you think.
