Coaching stability isnt a problem at Missouri (7-5), where Pinkel is wrapping up his 11th deteriorate with a program-record seventh consecutive bowl appearance. Instead, its a move to a SEC thats a constant topic of conversation. Theres no question about it this is historically a big moment with us playing our last game in a Big 12, Pinkel said. Thats kind of on my shoulders as well as on our players shoulders. This game is important for many reasons, but it will be remembered specifically for that reason. While North Carolina as well as Missouri share a penchant for off-field issues, they also have similar on-field resumes. Both are talented teams that have experienced bouts of success as well as failure. Missouri started a deteriorate with a 4-5 record before consecutive wins over Texas, Texas Tech as well as Kansas earned them a right to go to a Independence Bowl. Missouri sophomore quarterback James Franklin has thrown for 2,733 yards as well as 20 touchdowns this deteriorate while also rushing for 839 yards as well as 13 touchdowns. The Tigers defense has given up just 14 points per game during a recent three-game winning streak. Its been kind of an up-and-down year for us, so itd be nice to end with four (wins) in a row as well as end our time in a Big 12 a way we want to, receiver T.J. Moe said. And for a guys who are going to be here next season, it can be a springboard into a SEC. North Carolina started a deteriorate 5-1, but stumbled down a stretch, losing four of a last six to finish with a 3-5 ACC record. Still, a Tar Heels won their regular-season finale against Duke as well as have one of a best freshmen running backs in a country in Giovani Bernard. The 5-foot-10, 205-pounder from Davie, Fla., rebounded from a torn knee ligament last deteriorate to become a programs first 1,000-yard rusher since 1997. You see a great running backs, as well as theyre with a great teams, Bernard said. Thats a main thing. Dwight Jones has done a great job catching a ball all year as well as our offensive lin! e has pr otected me as well as Bryn (Renner) amazingly this year. The credit goes out to those guys. Im following a blocks. A little patience helps. Renner, a sophomore, led a ACC in passing efficiency as well as has thrown for 2,769 yards, 23 touchdowns as well as 12 interceptions. Renner said all of a teams adversity has taken a toll, but also made a Tar Heels resilient. Though disappointed Withers wont be around next deteriorate to coach a team, he said a Tar Heels are determined to send everyone out a winner. This coaching staff you cant say enough about a job coach Withers did for us all season, Renner said. Thats really who were playing for. This staff as well as this team.
