Mizzou is gearing up to "stop A&M's option attack." In last year's 25-19 defeat, they saw J-Train run for 127 yards. This year the Tigers are ready for the big fella, they are going to "play assignment football", "control the line of scrimmage", and get to Lane before he can "gather steam."

Wait. This can't be what the coaches in Missouri are talking about.

It's true, in the last two week we had our asses handed to us by the #1 and #2 ranked run defenses, and Missouri is #4 so it is reasonable to expect a similar outcome... if we run. But these guys are terrible against the pass; they give up almost 260 yards a game. When we played the #11 and #12 pass defenses McGee has averaged over 200 yards in the air, and Missouri is #10 so it is reasonable to expect a similar outcome... if we pass. In that game last year when they saw J Train run all over them and they learned their lesson, McGee also threw for 223 yards. If that article is accurate, I think the Tigers may have learned the wrong lesson.
