NORMAN, Okla. -- Top-ranked Oklahoma (2-0) returns to Owen Field for its Big 12 opener vs. Missouri (2-1) Saturday at 7 p.m. (CT). The Tigers upset the Sooners last year in Columbia, 36-27.
 
Missouri currently ranks 12th in the nation in total offense with nearly identical rushing (254.7 ypg) and passing (257.3 ypg) numbers. RB Henry Josey's 263 rushing yards last week was the fourth-highest single-game total in school history, and he did it all in the first half.
