Even though Nevada can get after the passer, the Tigers have allowed only four sacks in three games. Pick: Missouri, 45-41 Bruce Feldman, ESPN senior writer Nevada has been plagued by multiple turnovers so far this season. They are not as mediocre as their record and their relative scores would indicate. Also, Nevada under Coach Ault is a very different team at home than on the road; I have seen that many times. Case in point; Texas Tech beat Nevada 35-19 last season in Reno; T Tech was a darn good team last year and the game was not decided until late in the 4th quarter. Then Nevada comes to Missouri and is blown out.

Mizzou should win 42-21; the Tigers' offense should be very effective against Nevada's defense. However, I would not be surprised if it is a very tough game. Mizzou is listed as a 7-7 1/2-point favorite at this point.

Now, here we are, some three months later, and it turns out increasing the capacity at the Tigers' football home may not be such a hypothetical issue after all, the Columbia Missourian reports.Via his Twitter page, former MU tight end Martin Rucker reported Thursday that he has found a new NFL home in Philadelphia, landing a spot on the Eagles' practice squad.

Rucker, a consensus All-American selection in 2007, was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the sixth round prior to the 2008 season but caught just two passes for 17 yards while battling injuries as a rookie. The Browns waived Rucker earlier this week when it appeared he would be unable to assume the starting tight end job over a number of veteran players.It was suspected that when former LSU tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator Josh Henson came to Missouri during the offseason, he would, over time, produce favorable dividendsand it appears he has. Not only has Henson, one of MU's two offensive line coaches, instilled more of an SEC-type physicality in the Tigers' linemen, but he seems to have tapped into the talent-rich lands of the South in search of future players, a region in which the program has seldom, if ever, even attempted to find recruits.Two of the region's more sought-after prospectsathlete Curtis Carter, of Stonewall, La., and defensive end Mike Douglas, of Largo, Fla.despite fielding offers from programs around the country, are expressing serious interest in Missouri, with Carter as recently as last month reporting MU is currently in his top three. The Athletics Department is currently looking into ways to obtain the phones back from Bellman.
