Mon, 19 Oct 2009 19:19:38 -0500

Missouri coach Gary Pinkel says quarterback Blaine Gabbert will start Saturday night against No. 3 Texas despite a sprained right ankle. Gabbert was injured in the Tigers' Oct. 8 loss to Nebraska.

Pinkel said he's hopeful Gabbert will be "100 percent" for the game.

Missouri's QB Chase Daniel Will Be Tough for Nebraska to Disrupt

Fri, 03 Oct 2008 17:33:48 -0500

In baseball having a no hitter is special, every pitcher would love to have one and they're hard to come by. In basketball, being a high percentage free throw shooter and making all the clutch free throws and never missing is also special. The football equivalent is when a quarterback throws the ball so well, with such precision, that it rarely hits the ground and never in practice. When you have a quarterback that has that mentality, that composure, and that kind of decision making, it is so valuable. Being able to make throws that only the receiver can get to and completing passes at such a high percentage makes it very tough on a defense. We had that kind of player in Joe Montana. He had that mindset of never letting the ball hit the ground. And he learned it from Bill Walsh. It is an interesting and inspiring mindset. Not only was he able to find ways to beat our defense in practice, he had to make sure his receivers always caught the ball and he inspired all the guys to play to his standard. I write all this to say that we have a guy like that in Chase Daniel. He is trying to create that same standard in Missouri. I have such an appreciation for his point of view of not allowing the ball to hit the ground. When you're that precise and that focused and when you have a quarterback and wide receivers completely in sync it makes it very difficult to defend. There isn't a defensive back on the planet who can stop the perfect play. Let me just say this to the Nebraska defense -- you have your work cut out for you. You have to do everything to get him out of that mindset, to break his will and disrupt his receivers. But when you're as focused and as good as he is that is hard to do. They will have to give the guy a lot of different looks and get pressure on him. You have to get him out of his comfort zone like Ali did to Foreman and what we did with Dan Marino in the Super Bowl. When you've got a guy as good and with the mindset of Chase Daniel needless to say it's easier said than done.
