5 2004 Mizzou Football Game Notes Colorado at Mizzou — Oct. 2, 2004 OFFENSE HAVING SUCCESS ON 3RD DOWNS Mizzou has been quite successful on 3rd down offensively this season, as MU’s conversion rate of 47.6% (20-of-42) ranks 2nd in the Big 12 Conference entering Saturday’s game versus Colorado. Oklahoma leads the league currently, with an unreal conversion rate of 66.7%. MU INDIVIDUAL The 3rd-down success is a nice improvement from last year, when Mizzou ranked 8th in the Big 12 with a conversion rate of 39.6% in 13 games. CAREER RECORDS

That might not seem like too big of a deal, but when you consider the fact that this is a nice improvement from 2003, when the Tigers ranked 72nd nationally, with an average of 167.23 yards allowed per game. MU ranked 7th in the Big 12 in that category last year, but keep in mind that MU’s 2004 average of 108.33 would have ranked 1st in the league in 2003 (K-State had the Big 12’s 2004 Mizzou Football Game Notes 6 Colorado at Mizzou — Oct. 2, 2004 best average, at 108.47 allowed per game on the ground). Additionally, Mizzou has allowed just 1 rushing TD through 3 games this year – and that was MU INDIVIDUAL a fluke play at Troy when an offensive lineman picked up a Troy fumble in stride, and raced 63 CAREER RECORDS yards for a TD. MU is one of only 14 schools that have allowed 1 or fewer rushing TDs thus far, and only 5 schools (Nebraska, Wisconsin, LSU, Purdue and Auburn) have allowed none.

LAST WEEK’S RESULTS Nash got his much-anticipated season off to a rousing start, as he racked up a career-best 126 Saturday, Sept. 25th rushing yards in game #1 against Arkansas State on just 15 carries (8.4 avg.). He also added 2 •Texas Tech 31, at Kansas 30 TDs, on runs of 21 and 15 yards, with the first one an electrifying jaunt up the middle in which he •at Texas 35, Rice 13 broke a tackle at the line of scrimmage, spun a 360 and shed a few more arm tackle attempts, and •at Baylor 37, North Texas 14 accelerated to the endzone for the score from 21 yards out. Nash showed a nice balance of speed and strength on the night, as he outran people as often as he plowed into them to gain the tough extra yards. His yardage total marked the first time he broke the 100-yard barrier at Mizzou, breaking his previous best of 91 yards amassed last year against Iowa State. More importantly, Nash showed that he is virtually 100 percent recovered from a knee injury (ACL) which forced him to miss the 2002 season. He played last season at less than full strength, and has been impressive with his strength, speed, quickness and deciveness thus far in 2004. Nash was MU’s 3rd-leading rusher in 2003, as he gained 462 yards and had 5 TDs in a backup role to Mizzou’s career-leading rusher, Zack Abron.
