8-1 against 1-8

Since Dan Devine came to Missouri as head coach the trademark of MU football has been defense. This year's high-scoring offense has overshadowed the usually heralded defense. Even with the awesome offensive attack that MU displays one can't discount the Tigers defense which boasts several candidates for all-Big Eight selections.
Devine has used him primarily as a blocker to spring Moore loose for long runs and as protection for McMillan on passing plays.
Rocky Wallace, a pre-season All-American candidate, was figured to be the hulk of the MU defense. An early season injury, however, forced Wallace out of play this year. The absence of the all-Big Eight tackle has not hurt the Tiger's as much as anticipated though, because the MU front wall has allowed opponents only 108 yards a game on the

ground. Anchoring the defense is linebacker Nip Weisenfels. Wiesenfells was chosen Sports Illustrated's lineman of the week for his outstanding play against Oklahoma. Other defensive mainstays are Steve Lundholm, linebacker, and guard, San Adams. Mike Bennett, defensive end, is slowed by an injury, but may see action against the Jayhawks Saturday. It is probable that the 215 pound junior may achieve all-Big Eight honors this season.
The defensive secondary is last in the league statistics, but most coaches agree that this is because nobody has been able to run successfully against the Tigers. The secondary is headed by cornerback Butch Davis and safety
Dennis Poppe. Poppe has intercepted six passes and Davis has latched onto three others.

KU's offensive lineup remains intact for the MU encounter but once again Rodgers has been forced to revamp his defensive alignments. KU's leading defender, linebacker Emery Hicks, will be unable to play in Saturday's game because of a knee injury received against Oklahoma last weekend. Rodgers has replaced the all-Big Eight senior with sophomore fullback Chuck Schmidt, who has never played linebacker for the Hawks until this week. Thus, three sophomores, Schmidt, Kenny Page, and Steve Roach will start at the linebacker slots for Rodgers. Another soph, Dick Hertel, has replaced Mark Geraghty at the corner-back position.
