This week, the Tigers travel to the eternal tire fire known as Manhattan. Manhattan is a complete shithole. The city reminds me of my Grandma Shaw's house; decrepit, old, smells like diapers, and out in the middle of nowhere. With my feelings on the Little Apple out of the way, let's hit this game:-K-State has gotten beatdowns thrown on them the last two weeks by the two worst teams in the North; Nebraska and Iowa State. Nebraska actually tossed 73 points on them. On the flip, the Mildcats beat Texas in Austin, but that was early in the season.
-Lately, the Cat's defense couldn't stop Christopher Reeves from hitting paydirt. Joe Ganz actually threw for over 500 yards for the Huskers. Chase Daniel has to be salivating like Pavlov's dog.-The past two weeks, Cat's QB Josh Freeman has done less work than Calista Flockhart at a buffet. He hasn't looked good, but does have a great receiver in Jordy Nelson. He will be the main matchup for the Tiger secondary. Hell, the entire defense needs to keep an eye on him.
-Watch for HUGE days from Chase Daniel, both tight ends, Maclin, Franklin, Saunders, Temp...ok, basically the entire offense. Chase's Heisman chances should look pretty good; especially since Oregon's Dennis Dixon shot himself in the foot.
Don't get me wrong, this is a trap game with Kansas up next week. That on top of not winning in Manhattan since the 80's is a daunting task. But, K-Sucks doesn't have the horses to run with this Missouri offense. If the defense holds like it has for the past few games, we'll be good. Justin Garrett will get some passes thrown his way for the first time since Pig Brown hit the deck, so that will be a little interesting. The Tigers will dominate in the 38-17 win.
You can hear the game here (11:30a kickoff on FSN), and also make sure to hit up Rock M Nation for some good ol' fashion trash talking. You never know what will leave the keyboard of RT when he's full of Victory Whiskey.
