Missouri's been playing so well on both sides of the ball since conference play began, it's hard to nitpick and/or complain about areas of weakness. Nevertheless, you can bet upcoming opponents are concocting attack plans to knock 'em off.

Where do you see the Tigers as untested or vulnerable?

Special teams, QB play.

Mauk could have easily thrown 4 INT's last week. We were all happy with the outcome, could go another way though if his decision making doesn't improve a bit.

Mental breakdown. Can they keep playing at this higher level through games that they sbould win, or will they stumble abit and play down to other teams levels, much like the early non con games? Physicaly, they seem to be weathering well. But it's the mental aspect that makes me wonder. We really haven't seen it yet in conference play. The Tennessee game is the one that does worry me alittle. How will they handle a game that is within 3 points ir closer all the way through and down to the wire? This could be a posibility in a SEC CG.

Toledo showed our vulnerability to a well executed outside screen pass. This is generally a reflection of shortcomings at linebacker and corner.

I also agree with the above statements regarding Mauk's decision making. It is reminiscent of Franklin's first year (remember the first half of Mizzou v. kU in 2011?).
