Coach Gundy and the Oklahoma State Cowboys are coming to Missouri this weekend for a BIg 12 matchup against Jeremy Maclin and the Tigers. The over/under on this game is probably pushing 80 points. “It’ll be a good show for the fans,” Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel said. “I think it’s going to be a great offensive showdown.”
One thing Missouri likes to do is score early and score fast. They’re one of the nations top scoring offenses, yet they have one of the worst time of possession stats. That doesn’t bother Jeremy though. “That’s never been a concern for us,” Maclin said. “If you’re scoring points, it doesn’t matter.”
All-American Jeremy Maclin is fifth in the nation in all-purpose yardage with an 186.8-yard average and seven touchdowns, five on receptions, one on a run and one on a kickoff return. He’s going to do it all again when he takes the field tomorrow. No one on the Cowboys defense will be able to stop Jeremy Maclin. He’s too fast and too evasive.
I’m predicting a HUGE, Heisman-like day for Maclin. Something like 10 receptions for 180 yards, plus 100 return yards and 3 total touchdowns.
Go Tigers!

No. 3 Missouri handed Nebraska a big 52-17 loss on Saturday. They just keep moving up in the AP Poll. Chase Daniel didn’t put up huge numbers, but he was able to find Jeremy Maclin 5 times for 89 yards and a touchdown. “The scary part about this,” star receiver Jeremy Maclin said, “is we haven’t played our best game yet.”
Below is a video that shows Jeremy’s highlights from the game. Check out the 10 yard pass he gets from Chase and is able to use his blazing speed to turn it into a 58 yard score.

Tomorrow night at 9:00 PM EST on ESPN, Jeremy Maclin and the No. 4 Missouri Tigers will be playing the unranked Nebraska Cornhuskers. It’s going to be a Thanksgiving feast on national television. Last year against the Corn Huskers, Maclin put up 100+ yards of offense. With Missouri’s offense clicking on all cylinders so far in 2008, I’d expect him to nearly double those numbers (not to mention his kickoff/punt yardage).
But what about kickoffs and punts? What if Nebraska is scared of Jeremy and they try to squib it? “Yeah, obviously, it’s frustrating,” Maclin said. “But you’ve got to look at it for the better of the team. They’re going to squib the ball, and we pick it up and take it to the 38-, 40-yard line. We’re just as fine with that. If people directional kick the ball on punts or punt it out of bounds, that’s definitely something we’ll live with.”
Missouri is coming off a bye, so they’re definitely rested and wll prepared for this game. The best way to shut Nebraksa fans up is to get an early lead. Look for Chase to come out firing and for Maclin to be on the receiving end. “We’re game-planning for all situations,” Maclin said. “If they’re going to do it, they’re going to do it. If they give me an opportunity to return the ball, and we give our rangers team some time to make things happen, hopefully we can do some things.”
My prediction is Jeremy Maclin: 7 receptions for 140 yards, 3 rushes for 32 yards and 2 total touchdowns. Then he’ll also add almost 100 return yards on top of the offensive numbers.

For those of you interested in seeing Jeremy Maclin’s chat with ESPN the other day, please visit this link. For those of you being lazy, or maybe just too amped up about the Nebraska game this week, here are some excerpts:
Sean L Saint Louis, MO: I am pretty certain Mizzou could beat the Rams…..your thoughts?
Jeremy Maclin: Ha! I cannot comment on that!
Ruvin (Philadelphia): Care to weigh in on the conference debate? Who rules - the SEC or the Big 12?
Jeremy Maclin: Obviously I’m biased. I see the competition week in and week out. They’re definitely the two premier conferences out there.
Please check back tomorrow for my Nebraska preview.

Jeremy Maclin will be chatting with ESPN.com this evening. Here’s the info from their website:
Welcome to The Show! On Monday, Missouri sophomore wide receiver Jeremy Maclin will stop by to chat about his team’s 4-0 start.
Maclin and the Tigers are second in the nation with a 53.8 scoring average. Missouri rested with a bye week in Week 5, but travel to Nebraska on Oct. 4.
The 6-foot, 200-pounder leads Missouri in receiving yards with 391, which is also 13th in the country. His 26 receptions are tied for 17th in the country and his four TD catches are tied for 12th.
Maclin, a Kirkwood, Mo. native, stormed on to the college football scene last year. He had 80 catches for 1,055 yards and nine TDs.
Send your questions now for Maclin and join the chat on Monday at 5:30 p.m. ET!
Head over quickly if you want your questions answered.

Defensive backs better check themselves when they’re guarding Jeremy Maclin. Not only can he burn them 1 on 1 for the deep ball, but he’ll use his physical strength to knockem’ down in press coverage.
You don’t want to mess with him.

Jeremy Maclin and the Missouri Tigers sealed a 42-21 victory over Buffalo on the road Saturday. Offensively the Tigers looked great. Daniel was distributed the ball and looking downfield. From Rotoworld.com …
After a slow start to the season, sophomore wideout for the Missouri Tigers, Jeremy Maclin, seems to have recomposed himself, this week — for the second time in a row — grabbing over 150 yards of receiving and scoring at least one touchdown in a single game, in this instance, against the Buffalo Bulls
The only problem came from a case of fumblitis. “It’s unacceptable,” said Jeremy Maclin, who had one of the fumbles for the Tigers. “All three coming from the receiving corps, we’re better than that. We’ve got to get that corrected, high and tight the way the coaches preach.” Maclin was particularly upset because his fumble set up a Buffalo touchdown. “It’s all on me. I didn’t get the ball wrapped up tight enough. That’s pretty much all.”
I’d hate for Jeremy too get too hard on himself though. He did still put up 193 yards of offense! In case you missed his touchdown run, I’ve posted a video of it.

The no. 5 ranked University of Missouri Tigers ( the nation’s No. 1 ranked offense) will welcome over 65,000 fans (will any Buffalo fans show up?) to Saturday’s football game against Buffalo. Kickoff for the 5th-ranked Tigers’ game is set for 1:00 p.m. CT.
The man behind Jeremy Maclin’s great success, Chase Daniel, said “We want to score every time we touch the ball.” Hell yeah! That’s the Mizzou spirit we’re looking for. Jeremy blew up like a volcano last week catching 6 balls for 172 yards. He’ll definitely be looking for similar production this week against an absolute terrible Buffalo team. I don’t even know what the line is on this game, but it’s got to be close to 45 points.
Jeremy Maclin has 5 touchdowns on the year so far (4 receiving and 1 punt return). I think he can add 2-3 more touchdowns to that total by the end of the game tomorrow. Jeremy is a huge talent and is a threat to score any time he touches the ball. I’m envious of everyone who’s going to the game. It should be an exciting, high scoring affair. Go Tigers!

And by “explodes”, I mean puts up monster numbers. They should earn him some kind of SEC Player of the Week Honor. In Missouri’s 69-17 victory over Nevada on Saturday, wide receiver Jeremy Maclin had 6 catches for 172 yards and 3 touchdowns. He also had 2 kickoff returns and 4 punt returns for a total 62 yards. Things got kicked off during Missouri’s second drive when Chase Daniel hit Maclin for an 80 yard bomb.
The Missourian said:
Daniel’s record-breaking throw didn’t look like much before Maclin got hold of it. Still needing more than 40 yards to earn his spot at the top of the record book, Daniel hit the speedster on a short pass over the middle, and the All-American turned it into something special, dodging defenders and sprinting down the left sideline for the touchdown that perhaps only fans immediately realized was special.
“I had no idea what his stats were,” Maclin said. “But I’d do anything to help that guy.”
The Missouri Tigers love to throw the rock, it’s the perfect system for Jeremy Maclin. “We like to pass the ball,” Maclin said. “So we’re gonna do it in rain, sleet, snow, dry day, regardless.” Missouri is now #5 in the AP Poll thanks to their huge win.

The #6 ranked Missouri Tigers are hosting the Nevada Wolfpack on Saturday at 12:30 p.m. The Missouri-Nevada football game, previously scheduled for telecast on a pay-per-view basis, has been moved to airing on Fox Sports Net affiliates… so now everyone will get to see it! Nevada isn’t a good football team (they got beat by Texas Tech last week 35-19), so the Tigers shouldn’t have any problem beating them.
The Wolpack gave up 158 yards to Texas Tech’s #1 WR Michael Crabtree, so I’m hoping we can see similar production from Jeremy Maclin this week. Maclin has not started off with a bang like we predicted. Through the first two games he only has 6 receptions for 51 yards. I mean he’s been a beast on special teams, but the Tigers really need to get him involved more in the passing game.
I’m predicting a Tiger win, of course. Vegas has Missouri favored by 27, but I think the final score will probably be closer to 42-20. If they can get Jeremy going, I see no reason why he can’t pass 100 yards receiving for the first time this year. Add in a touchdown and some big special teams plays and he should have an awesome showing.
