West Virginia W
Eastern Michigan W
Georgia W
Delaware State W
LSU L
Florida L
Middle Tennessee W
Kentucky W
South Carolina W
Vanderbilt W
Tennessee W
Arkansas L

9-3 - and UF is winnable. I know it was just one game, but after last night, Tennessee is not the team to fly through the east. And good god, SC and vandy are awful.

I'll take it!!! I just have a feeling with the way that Mizzou has been written off that we are in for a good season. I hope we are both right. I'd rather have win over Arkansas than Florida but I'll take 7-5 to 9-3 no matter how we get there.

Fixed it for you before Ranters had their way with it. Might as well be prepared.

If we go to LSU undefeated, especially after facing UGAs running backs, we win at LSU. Fournette does not beat Mizzou alone. Florida is not that good, but we could be a little deflated emotionally after a big LSU win. It will all come down to the Arkansas game, with UGA watching because they will need us to lose.

The first 4 games are huge. I mean, we should definitely handle East Michigan and D. State, but coming out of the gates with W's against WVU and Georgia could really change the dynamics of the season.

If we get to 4-0 we will be ranked no higher than 20 because everyone will write off uga. They have a tough one tomorrow against unc. We need to beat an undefeated uga and of course take care of tomorrow. We will have to win the NC before we get respect from the SEC media. The coaches and the SEC staff give us respect but no one else.

I"m making no predictions until we're at least 3 games in.

I think either we win in Morgantown and go on to an 8-4 9-3 type season, or we lose and go 6-6. I'm optimistic. If our D hasn't fallen off, and we have an uptick in O, we'll be in fairly good shape. Possibility of a 10-2 season. But, we don't have O depth to take it to the house

I've been stuck at 6-6/7-5...... Anything 8-4 and above is a really good first year for BO and MIZZOU

I won't have a problem if we lose tomorrow, due to our offense...

However, if WVA runs up the score on our D....... We have reasons for concern. JMO

After watching, SC,TN, and Vandy play yesterday. (Pathetic performances all around) The East still looks to be the redheaded step child of the SEC.... SO MIZZOU has as good a chance as any to string up some W's.

Like every other team, who plays their first game of the season... Tomorrow tells us exactly where MIZZOU stacks up.

Tomorrow tells us a lot. But, it doesn't tell us everything. I really don't have high expectations. But I wish we had our 2013 team this year, because it would be a blood bath.

Odom had a couple years to get his game in place with his guys.

That said. I'll be disappointed if there is a large drop off in defense.

I follow that up with IF there isn't a drop off in defense, and an uptick in offense, THEN there is bigger potential in this season than there was a week ago

After watching UT last night I'm thinking 7-5.

I was at 6-6.

I think the D takes a step back, but the O improves.

Seems backwards, but I think Heuple will really get things going by mid season, while the D's problems will be depth related.

I do not expect a win tomorrow. Initially I did expect a close win, but I think there's a chance we get boat raced.

I think tomorrow will tell us a lot about Elarbee and Heupel.

I don't think we are going to see a drop in defense.

Brown is an upgrade coaching the CBs and Shipp knows his craft. Solid coverage helps the pass rush just as much as pressure helps coverage.

Both Cross and Shipp have experience coaching against Holgorsen's scheme and have had just as much time to prep for him as he has for them.

I hope to see a real read option instead of the fake one that only confuses us instead of the defense. Let Lock keep the ball and go around the end on the first play so WV starts looking for the keeper from play 1 on.

Other than that I'm hoping the offense has matured enough to put some TD's on the board.
