They've heard the incessant chatter about Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel and the Tigers' offense, which averages 199.0 yards by land and 357.6 by air.
They're well aware Martin Rucker and Chase Coffman are two imposing tight ends who often impose their will as split ends.
They're ready to hold their breath whenever Jeremy Maclin touches the ball, seeing how he averages 22.4 yards per kickoff return, 16.0 per punt return, 12.2 per reception and an astounding 10.9 per rush on 16 carries.
They fully expect wideout William Franklin to be playing on Sundays next year.
They know Missouri's offensive line has allowed just five sacks in 237 pass attempts.
They have figured out these are no paper Tigers.
A paper defense? Perhaps.
Despite being a 10-point underdog for today's 5:30 p.m.
