First of all congratulations to Nebraska on it's 31-17 win over my beloved Tigers. The Huskers punched Mizzou squarely in the mouth on their first possession of the game and never looked back. Running Back Roy Helu, Jr. ran for 307 yards and scored on three long touchdown runs. I am sure there were some Tiger D'backs who had nightmares for Halloween dreaming about trying to run him down. But, they couldn't he was just too doggone fast. In fact the whole Nebraska team is fast. Combine that with the domination from the Huskers Offensive Line and that was the difference in the game. On a brighter note, while the Tigers got down 24-0, they never gave up and at one point had cut the gap to ten points. But, then Helu took off down the field frustrating the Tigers. Still even in a tough loss on the road to Nebraska, I am very proud of my Missouri Tigers. They are now 7-1 and ranked 12th in the latest BCS poll. Up next this Saturday is a trip to Lubbock, Texas to take on a 4-4 Texas Tech Team. M-I-Z!!!
On a happier note the young St. Louis Rams continue to grow and learn how to win. The Rams beat a bad Carolina Panthers team 20-10 yesterday. Even with injuries at the Wide Receiver position the Rams were able to move the ball when needed. The Rams are now 4-4 headed to their bye week. The schedule is not nearly as favorable for the Rams in the next eight weeks. The team has one one home game between now and December 19th. But, I look forward to the second half of the season as this team continues to grow and improve. Go Rams!
