00:00All right, now let's get to the best defense in college football right now.

00:05It is Mizzou.

00:06Missouri ranks sixth in the country, playing as well as they have had ever, Bill, is it

00:11fair to say?

00:12I don't ever remember them being ranked sixth, but here they are, taking on a Boston college

00:16team that is ranked simply because they beat FSU.

00:19I'm not sure how good FSU is anymore, honestly, but Missouri's 16.5 point favorites.

00:23The total is the fascinating part of this, only 53.5.

00:28So this seems to lend some credence here that Missouri is able to shut BC down on defense,

00:34but I would anticipate BC scoring points, right?

00:36Like BC hasn't, or Missouri hasn't given up any points yet.

00:40Well, this is one I don't understand the line at all.

00:42I think it's going to be a close game.

00:44I like Boston college's ability to run the football 282.5 yards per game.

00:49Thomas Castellanos is kind of a dual threat quarterback.

00:51You and I both watched them go down to Florida state a couple of weeks ago and just handle

00:57business in a tough place to play.

00:59I know Missouri's defense is tough.

01:01I think Luther Burden's been quiet for them.

01:03He'll maybe have a breakout game, but I look for this to maybe be the most entertaining

01:07game among the ranked teams this weekend because of BC.

01:11You mentioned that red bandana factor.

01:13I would encourage everybody to go watch the Wells Crowther story.

01:15It was amazing by ESPN.

01:18That's next weekend, but I think there'll be some inspiration from that given the September

01:2211th anniversary.

01:23I like Boston college to cover.

01:25Missouri wins the game.

01:27It's close.

01:28Maybe like a 30 to 27 type game.
