re: Almost 2 years in and Missouri still does not feel like it is part of Conference

Mizzou will be able to put its best foot forward this year since they aren't a MASH Unit

No team in the SEC, Bama and LSU included, would have overcome that injury list.

I'm NOT saying they would have had Mizzous record, but they wouldn't have shined

Thanks for the dose of realism.

For those who don't know what he's talking about (such as the OP I'm sure), he means starting RB and leading rusher out for entire season, starting QB out half the season and banged up enough to be ineffective the other half, offensive line so banged up that at least half the preseason starters were out every single game, even backups injured.

The result? Mizzou's worst offensive output in years and one of the least productive offenses in the nation. And before you yell "yes cuz of SEC defenses!", that was the case for Mizzou against Central Florida, Arizona State, Syrcuse last year as well. Now, as an SEC team should we have the depth on hand to compensate for that big an injury rash, say like South Carolina did to an extent? Sure. I'm not on here arguing that our depth and overall roster is where it needs to be yet. But conversely you can't argue that an injury bug that severe isn't going to impact any team, much less a first year SEC team still figuring things out like ours was.

Will it be better this season if we are healthy? I have no idea. But people should at least know the situation before talking about it.
