Why wasn't Olugbode in for the entire last drive?

Tollison hasn't lived up to my expectations this year (which were high.) What's going on?

I'm ready to see Green at LG and Richardson(?) at LT. Also, never use your legs to trip/tackle a player. I remember a Mizzou defender getting a leg injury against A&M back in the B12.

Did Moore cost us a playoff spot this year? Aslo, when you have good running backs, you should never lose QBs on designed runs.

We brought in another kicker. He has to be capable of hitting 27 yarders, right?

Zollers looks great. Really hope Pribula ends up fine, but don't want to see him start again for us. But I don't think Zollers would have looked like this at the start of the year. He needed time to build his playbook.

Why is our running game getting stopped so easily? These were 3 good defenses in a row, but I would still expect us to perform better. Is it all Moore?

Tell kickers to never tackle, and defenders to wrap a ball up with 2 hands and don't worry about getting tackled.

Our defense is great. But let's let Burks go after the season. Our secondary mostly looks capable of good man coverage to me.

These are all just a random goober's observations. happy to be proven wrong.

Lucky Mizzou is off next week. The bad news? Texas A&M will be in Columbia in 2 weeks.

Burks


The worst player at giving up big plays in the history of Mizzou that I can remember. Single-handedly seems to allow 7 points/game.

The end of game coaching decisions cost us, we got lucky at Auburn and the ball didn't lie at the end of this game. We deserved an L.

Ahmad is basically the best running back in college football. Put in the jumbo package and if they stop us, that's fine. The fact that Beau got hurt is a testament to Drink's track record of overplaying his hand with our qbs.

Same thing last week, at the end of the game we go backwards and miss a field goal by a hair.

nobody can lean on OZ exclusively in the SEC. I dont get why Drink/Moore think we will be able to. There needs to be much more variety in the run game.

Maybe he has some gambling debts.

Your bad news is my good news. A&M has tried to give away multiple games this year and they've played one legit defense: Auburn and got held to 16 points. Aggie is ripe for the picking.

Knocking off a Top 3 could propel Mizzou back into playoff consideration. Bring it on.

Vandy was taunting all night with worse BS than the taunt Zion got called for against Bama. Not flagged once for it. Also had some dirty hits.

Watch that Vanderbilt long td run, there were some atrocious missed holds. Bad calls on both sides tho, refs stunk as per SEC standards.

I thought I got it all out of my system last night, but this keeps bugging me.

You don't pour this many millions of dollars into an endeavor, and then allow an OC to screw it up by getting your most important position injured. Teams that don't have great running backs need to run their QB at the goal line; not us.

This is a business now. Run it as one. Moore is the equivalent of that Cracker Barrell exec that changed the logo, in my eyes.

Moore getting two QBs season ending injuries on designed keepers is fireable and I don’t give a shite how good he does with Zollers down the stretch. That shite pisses me off more than his play design and scheme. Both plays right up the middle of the defense too.

frick that guy.

Arkansas is aggressively not good this year and we played A&M super close. My two big "upset" picks for the rest of the season is Mizzou knocking off the Aggies and the Vols pulling out a miracle to stop Vandy.

Granted, the second pick is because I think the SEC will break every rule in the game to prevent the Vandy Pimp making the playoffs.

The officiating in the MU-Vandy game suggests the SEC is not there yet
