Missouri vs. Oklahoma Key Player to Watch
- Xavier Robinson, RB - Oklahoma Sooners
Xavier Robinson has been getting more carries for Oklahoma of late, and for good reason. Robinson has been averaging a blistering 5.9 yards per carry this season, along with four touchdowns. He has taken over from Tory Blaylock as the primary back, which gives the Sooners' offense an explosive trait that it didn't have in the first half of the season. He'll play a big role in the final stretch of this season's schedule.
Missouri vs. Oklahoma Prediction and Pick
The key to beating Missouri is stopping the run. Missouri runs the ball on 58.09% of its plays, which is the 23rd highest run play rate in the country. 55.72% of their yards gained come on the ground as well, which is the eighth-highest mark.
Unfortunately for them, the Tigers now have to face one of the best run defenses in the country. Oklahoma leads all teams in opponent yards per carry, allowing just 2.3 yards per rush. They're in a great spot to completely shut down Missouri.
The Sooners are also aided by Xavier Robinson, who has added an explosive trait to their offense since taking over as the primary back for the team. I'll lay the points with Oklahoma.
