Stream of consciousness - Missouri

I see a lower scoring game this year. Partly because I think Mike Schultz likes to put together 14 play drives, methodically working his way down the field with low-risk pass plays, read options, and runs. And partly because I think missouri's offense sucks. I really think we adopt the TCU approach of "want to improve your defensive performance? Add a ball-control, low-turnover offense, control the clock, and keep the D fresh". I can envision myself screaming "stretch the defense with a jump ball to Cumblerland!" at the television (that's right - I'm not going. I wouldn't do that to Illini fans - as I proved earlier, if I'm there, we have no chance of winning). And then I'll realize that the 7 yard out we just threw to Rejus has a low-percentage of producing turnovers and a high percentage of awesomeness.
