Shocking News

5-7 wouldn't be wonderful, 6-6 and a bowl game against some Big 12 bottom feeder would be a lot better result, but there are much worse seasons to have.

A 5-7 campaign that sees Missouri getting better with each game would be fine, especially after the horrendous bad luck y'all have had this off season.

I think your coach is doing a good job of building a solid team and if the first season has a lot of growing pains then the good news is by the second season you should be a threat in the East to a lot of clubs.

I think the same way. 7-5 or 8-4 would be a good year, but 6-6 looks more reasonable. Our defense is elite even without Brady and Brantley and will keep us in every game. Hell Arky was the only team that really blew us out last season and we still held an offense consistently putting up 50 to 28.

I think we're going to be legit these next two years. This kind of gets lost in the shuffle with all of the stuff we've had this offseason, but we are an extremely young team. We've got one senior on the OL and he just transferred here yesterday. The rest of them are sophomores and freshmen with a junior or two. Giving guys like Paul Adams, Kevin Pendleton, and Sam Bailey 4 years of experience will take our OL from being a joke to a force to be reckoned with.

We win 9 games and best LSU

I am bullish on the WRs with Hill back in control of the room.

The oline still has to give Lock some time but the guys that make Hill's two deep make plays on the ball and block their positions with intensity.

I'm holding out for 8-4. Set the bar high! Go Tigers!!

JP 2016 projection: 6-6 (3-5)
SEC Race: 4th in the East

I put an asterisk by games I think we may pull out an upset. I think we have a good chance of beating WVU but that's a tough veteran coach and environment for wiBO to win his first game. We always play close games against Florida and Tennessee. I'm not sure what UGA brings to the table. If the game is any thing like last year and O improves then we have a chance. I think that three game stretch between Oct. 29-Nov. 12 is the most important for BO's inaugural season to be a success. Those are three must win games. I would say that 7-5 or 8-4 isn't out of the question.
