Missouri-WVU: Unbalanced lines, Newsom the nickelback, and room to run

Missouri found some running success with unbalanced lines. The Tigers also struggled mightily with linebackers lined up against slot receivers.

If you were familiar with my work at the Columbia Daily Tribune you knew that, as part of my in-season coverage, I endeavored to provide snap counts for every Missouri player for every offensive and defensive snap that counted during the season.

If you were not...well, I just explained what this is in the last graf. You should have paid attention.

Anyway, I pored over the film of the Tigers’ season-opening loss to West Virginia to see who Missouri used on offense and defense, how often and in what ways.
