Missouri Redshirt Sophomore Quarterback Brad Smith
Being calm under pressure
"When I am on the field I just try to win the game. I definantly think out there and prepare myself for the game. When it comes to the individual aspects of the game I just make decisions and go."

Utilizing the arm
"It comes with working as a team and the timing. The running game is working then all I want to do is winning. If that is running the ball or throwing that is what I will do."

On Ell Roberson "Yeah, I want to win and he is at a place that I want to get to. This is a really big game that I am looking forward to."

Missouri Senior Linebacker Brandon Barnes
On Small Running Backs
"They are so low to the ground, but I feel that this will be prepared for what they throw at us."

Overconfidence
"That is possible, but we have to keep ourselves down so we do not make any mental mistakes."

On Ell Roberson
"He has a very quick and agile style. He is a very smart quarterback and he has been productive in their system."

Missouri Running Back Zach Abron
On Sproles and Roberson
"Our offence has to keep their offence off the field. Sproles is a great back, and Roberson is also a great running Quarterback. We have to control the clock to win the game."
