Big 12 Championship - Halftime

Missouri's Chase Daniel has looked alright through the first half, completing 13 of 23 passes and throwing no interceptions. He's also run for 40 yards and a TD.
But he's not looking like a Heisman winner.
He's overthrown guys, and he's underthrown guys.
Granted, pretty good coverage is forcing him into making tight throws, but Heisman operators of pass-oriented teams make those throws.

On the other sideline, Sam Bradford loked good during the first half, completing 11 of 15 passes for 130 yards. Neither team has mustered impressive running attacks, but they're plodding along, getting it down.

The score is tied at 14-14 after the Tigers scored with :14 left on the clock, and Gary Pinkel made an odd decision to go for two. It seemed he had the perfect play in his back pocket and was ready for an excuse to try it out.
Tight end Martin Rucker took a pitch on an apparent reverse, then found Jeremy Maclin wide open in the end zone for a successful conversion.

Maclin has been all over the place, grabbing six passes for a total of 49 yards while also taking care of punt and kick returns. He also rushed once for 8 yards.
