This is definitely a scary game

It's going to be a very tough game, especially with how bad our offense is. We've won the last two games because of TOs, field position and a star kicker. Statistically, Mizzou is every bit as good as Texas is on defense. They may not have quite the NFL talent, but as a unit, they are equals. Without TOs, I don't see much of a path of how we score much on Saturday. I hope I'm wrong and the offense can find something, but at this point, it's likely "you are who you are" (Bill Parcells).

Again, it truly is amazing that you manage to miss the point of almost every post.

Also, even though my post had nothing to do with whether we should be worried about Hardy, it's amusing that you refer to stats and then use the phrase "flawed" post. Stats are objective facts. Every stat I cited in my post is accurate. You can downplay them all you want, but if we had a guy putting up his numbers at RB, people would throw a parade.

Yes, the numbers were technically real numbers, but horrifically misapplied to the point of being useless for the statement you were trying to support. Hence why I noted the clear flaws.

You claimed he always plays and always dominates. I then cited that he has only played three top 25 run defenses all year, and he did not cross 100 yards or 5 YPC in a single one of them.

You throw around the word "dominates" way too liberally. At least when it comes to non-OU players.

Hell, people were gushing about Blaylock when he got off to a decent start against bad competition, talking about how he has "it" and looked like a guy we could rely on for years.

Lolz...you were the person saying that.

Mizzou has a good defense, but not as good as Texas'. Furthermore, Texas has one of the top 2-3 run defenses in the country and were playing against a QB who was rushed back from surgery with minimal practice reps.

Mizzou's defense ranks slightly above Ole Miss. We've played 4 defenses ranked above Mizzou (UT, Alabama, Auburn, UM), so it's middle of the road for our schedule.

I don't think we'll score much, but also don't think we'll need to. Much like how we won 3 of the 4 games listed above against better defenses.
