After teasing the college football world with his talents a season ago while filling in for an injured James Franklin, Mauk has crept into the spotlight as one of the most intriguing prospects at the position. He is a natural gunslinger with a great sense of timing, anticipation and ball placement. Mauk throws guys open with precise throws in tight windows, yet avoids the big mistake that typically accompanies a risk taker at the position. While he certainly needs to continue to improve his judgment within the pocket after tossing a pair of interceptions against Toledo, Mauk is a big-time passer with the skills to take the Tigers to the next level.

His numbers are really hard to get a grasp on when compared to Daniel, Gabbert and Franklin. Seems he throws less but when he does throw, he throws for more. i.e. his total yards are lower but his ypa are higher.
Also, I know we've always been more of a run team than most people realize, but I don't remember this much of a gap. I my recollection just faulty?
62% runs
38% pass

Historically, Mizzou tried to balance 50/50 run/pass. However, if teams will let us run on them and we keep the sticks moving, it keeps the defense on the field and is a lower risk offense that is more punishing to a defense, i.e., it wear them down.

I'm still reserving myself until conference play starts. I got one foot on the bandwagon.

Considering how much talent we lost at the WR position, I think he is a great fit. He can run if nobody gets open, but can hit his targets with accuracy and zip if they do.
Also, with his 6 TD's last week, it looks like he at least tied a Mizzou record. He tied his own passing record (5 against UK). Does anybody know what the overall school TD record for a game is?

In fairness, the OL protected him so well last week, Mauk could have taken a nap between snap and decision time. I think we would all expect any player at this level to perform well with that kind of time. The test for Mauk will come when the OL is facing a tough defense and his decision cycle is compressed.
I think he will do fine and probably even excel at that point, but except for briefly last season, we haven't seen it yet.

Still one foot on. His field vision needs to improve as well as his timing with receivers. I think he'll get there, but it's a matter of time. He will need a little help from his team mates also.
I agree, when they run into some good defenses, we'll see the real Mauk. We seen flashes last year. But he didn't have the whole load on his shoulders like this year. If the defense keeps up like they did against UCF, he'll have a short field to work with. That's a good thing.
I still don't think we've seen everything yet. Still "pre season".

ball winds up in the endzone, end of the day, that's what matters right?
It's the Maty Mauksy that matters.

Oh I wasn't complaining. Well, if I was, it was that I almost feel like we aren't throwing ENOUGH.
