I'm comparing it to last year, which is all I have to go on for this year. I am not worried now about this offense being able to move the ball. Will we put up 58 points through the conference? No way. But the quality of receivers we have, the play calling of Henson, the running backs we have, and Franklin being accurate down field, I am very optimistic about the offense.

The defense was bad early.

And that is very concerning. We aren't going to be able to compete in barn-burners against SEC defenses. We may average 20-24 pts/game, so we'll need the defense to play big. Hopefully the first quarter was just shaking off the rust.

Yeah, this year's offense seems to be a little bit better than last year's pending any injuries.

I'm just hoping the D can hold up their end of the deal, we don't need them to be dominant to get a winning season, but we do need them to be competent. They certainly weren't competent tonight for a portion of the game versus the BCS opponent.

I love all our players, which is something I don't think many people can say about their team. I love the family atmosphere we have, and I think that will help them band together and improve more than one would normally expect. I truly believe they're all real mizzou players through and through, and I'm glad to have them here. I just hope they can hold their own when the shite comes down. Hopefully the family atmosphere allows them to play potentially above their talent level and make that happen.
