The spring has been about validating 2009’s balance, proving that even losing Ndamukong Suh, one of the conference’s best players ever, won’t slow the Cornhuskers’ progress.
They’ve done it by building their team around defense and bringing the beef on the offensive and defensive lines.
Missouri built one of the best teams in school history around a dynamic offense, eventually ascending to No. 1 in ’07, but still lost twice to the Sooners that season. A year later, the Tigers fell behind 35-0 in the first half to Texas and had no chance in the Big 12 title game, trailing 41-7 at one point in the second half against Oklahoma.
