Head Coach Gary Pinkel on QB Chase Daniel: "He's ready to play when he wakes up on Monday, with the competitor he is.  That's a long time ago.  Every player draws from every experience he's ever had.  Good or bad, you learn from things.  You move on.  I think that's one of the best things he does.  I don't think he's gotta' go back in time for any motivation.  He's a great competitor."

College Football Picks: If Missouri doesn't have at least a 2 touchdown lead on Nebraska at halftime, w atch out because at home, Nebraska can pull off some spectacular comebacks.  The Missouri team is very healthy.  Everything is pointing to a Mizzou victory.  Va. Tech will be a very physical opponent for the Huskers so they may be banged up next week.
