Mizzou still beats Georgia

I am normally hard on Mizzou because I see the potential, but even after yesterday’s game that team showed me something. Acy was the catalyst to the back end which balanced both corner positions and helped coverage on the back end. With him out, wide eyed freshmen on the road played like it with Ware and Petry seeing a lot of snaps.

Up front, we do need a more consistent pass rush but I think scheme played a major part in lack of overall pressure as well.

On Saturday we will play a team who is committed to being physical and running the ball to open their playbook. I think we will match up well enough on the back end to keep things in front of them and our rush D will step up to compete.

Georgia has not been tested vertically with the weapons we have. A buddy of mine who played both in the SEC and professionally as a scout team player was telling me how his circle believes this will be a matchup nightmare for Kirby because of Roquan’s absence in their back seven. The expectation is our TE’s and WR’s can eat this game.

Also for whatever reason, people believe in Barry as a coach outside of Missouri too. My buddy was telling me he would be one of the highest paid D coordinators for most programs within 2 years if we let him go. I think the issue is talent and evaluation and not scheme in most cases.
