What makes the Missouri Tigers offense so good?

So far they are perfect, sporting a 5-0 record after demolishing conference partner Nebraska at Corn Husker Stadium.

Led by Chase Daniel, Mizzou is an offensive monster, averaging more than 50 points per game and, to this day, ranks No. 2 behind Oklahoma in the USA Today Coaches Poll.

Daniel, a legitimate candidate for the Heisman Trophy, shows cunning on and off the field. Last spring he cultivated a friendship with Warren Buffett, The Oracle of Omaha. Buffett is one of the richest men in the world and possibly one of the greatest investors of all time. Warren Buffett runs Berkshire Hathaway.

Daniel, a finance student, met Warren Buffett during a field trip last spring and they exchange emails two to three times a week, according to the ESPN team by calling the game Yesterdays Tigers – Cornhuskers.

What makes the Tigers so good? Is it the extended offense, the training, Chase Daniel? Probably yes to all of the above and more.

Which statistic stands out the most? Is it their third down conversion rate, the number of points they put on the board, their conversion rate? Certainly all of those are solid statistics that contribute to your current success.

The one statistic the announcers from yesterday’s game shared is the one that stands out the most to me. This season he has discovered that Mizzou has never had a 3 and has come out. Every time they get the ball, they get at least 1 first try. Having never heard of it in the fifty plus years that I have followed or played soccer, I am in awe of the Mizzou Tigers.

In conclusion, that single statistic helps explain why the Missouri Tigers are so good, they get first downs every time they get the ball.
