I think that the key to this game will be Missouri's ability to deal with adversity. Unlike in the past, the tigers have been able to come back with their A game after a few bad drives and put up points when it matters the most. This team is very good under pressure. I think that the importance and intensity of the game will be in Mizzou's favor because they have played a harder schedule and are more used to playing tough games. KU could definitely be a clutch team, but with so many blowouts im still not sure how they play when things start to turn against the Jayhawks.

Comparing when both teams played Kansas State, Missouri led by 3 at halftime and came back to score 4 touchdowns in the second half for a blowout. Ku led K state at halftime by 7 and lost that lead in the second half before scoring two field goals in the 4th for the win. Its not too much evidence, but i think that Mizzou still has the mental edge in this one. Either way I am very excited to watch this game.
