Matter gets behind the scenes access

The Columbia Daily Tribune's Dave Matter went one-on-one with Mizzou QB Chase Daniel (above, in a Power Mizzou photo) after practice Friday, spending and hour with the Heisman candidate in the film room.

From Matter's blog: The highlight of the day for me came after practice when I spent about an hour watching game film from last season with QB Chase Daniel for a story I’m working on for the Tribune’s First & Ten preview edition, which I believe hits newsstands on Aug. 30. The chalk talk was a fascinating dive into the inner workings of the Missouri offense. After watching just three scoring drives from a particular game last year — you’ll have to read the story to find out which game — my mind is still on sensory overload. One thought I took from the session was how incredibly simple some concepts of the offense are while at the same time it seems so complex given how quickly plays are executed. Daniel was fantastic breaking down his reads, routes and coverages. He’s going to make a brilliant coach one day. Kudos to media relations director Chad Moller and video services director Mike Schumacher for making the interview possible, and of course the professor himself, Daniel.
