James Franklin is without a doubt 100 percent healthy. His backup QB is Maty Mauk, the current high school record holder for passing yards. Secretly, most of Mizzou nation is praying for Maty Mauk to get a chance at QB sometime this year. The high school record holder for passing yards throwing to the high school record holder for receptions is a dream scenario.
Our star running back, Henry Josey, is back and 100 percent healthy. This guy was one of the best, if not the best, running back in the country in 2011 when he tore up his knee. He's a legitimate threat.
Like I mentioned before, we have DGB who started to breakout toward the end of last season. Hell, he's the reason we beat Tennessee in that epic game. Literally, he drew up the play in the dirt. Pinkel and Yost didn't create the play. That was DGB. He said, "Throw me the ball. I'll be open at this spot right here (X marks the spot in the sand)." And the play worked exactly the way he designed it. I may refer to him as Coach DGB from now on.
Finally, our O-line last year was decimated with injuries, prompting us to play inexperienced freshmen who actually performed far better than anticipated. Now they have real SEC experience.
The key is that our team is healthy and we have valuable SEC game experience.
The only question mark is the coaching. Can Pinkel and Staff rise to the occasion like our players are determined to do? I don't know.
