Qb Gabbert, the #10 ranked QB coming out of high school, had a pretty good year in '09 with an inexperienced crew. He had a 24-9 TD to int. ratio, and 8.1 yards per attempt. Not bad for a first year starter. This year, with a powerful offensive scheme under coach Pinkel, and with four of his five offensive linemen back, as well as a good RB in Washington, I predict another powerful offense from the Tigers.
On defense, they have a tremendous leader in DE Smith, who was the defensive player of the year with 12 sacks, and two returning CBs, both of whom were Honorable Mention Big 12 players.
Missou will be dangerous because their offense will be good, and their defense, though not a spectacular one, will be good enough to most times, allow the Tiger offense to stay in most, if not, all games.
Missouri will be a team I will look to in the early part of the season. The dangerous part of the season starts Oct. 9th. In four consecutive weeks they play Colo., Tex.A&M, Okla., and Nebr. Phew! If they survive that stretch, look out for the Tigers.
