[NU Sports] How do we match up against Missouri?

[Jim Bendat]

I'm optimistic about playing Mizzou or Oklahoma State. It is a given that there is very little defense played in the Big 12. I think our defense would hold up just fine, and I think our offense would do just fine against either of those two teams' defenses. And, while I'm at it, here's a comparative set of scores:

Missouri 52, Illinois 42.
Northwestern 27, Illinois 10.
