Someone Get Me Up To Speed

We're gonna beat those Yankee snowflakes who like to draw pictures with their poop. It's as simple as that.

Our Columbia is >>>>>>>>>>>>> their 2nd rate Columbia. We will bring the trophy for the Battle of the Columbias back where it is now...our house. Their fans despise us in particular and we love it. When we are in foul moods, Mizzwho usually bears the brunt of it...or at least they do when I'm in a foul mood.

Missouri has a lot of offensive weapons, though most of them were scoring untouched on WR screen plays that shouldn't against an SEC team. Drew Lock is throwing the ball pretty well already this season, so USC is going to need to put some pressure on him. They are going very up tempo on offense and while its working they are leaving their defense out to die with it.

Their defense is young and looks it. They tightened up in the second half but they were completely lost in the first half against a Missouri State team that is an FCS bottom feeder. Mizzou seems to have a lack of team speed on defense, particularly in the secondary. Their D-Line isn't bad but everything behind them is very suspect.

Missouri needs to turn the game into a shootout unless their defense improves dramatically.

We're going to want to play ball control against Mizzou if possible. Keepaway is going to be our best defense against their offense.

FWIW I believe our best rushing game was against Mizzou last year ... and this year our backs are stronger and our OLine massively improved.

Still gonna have to mix it up to sustain drives, but we should be able to do that.

Defensively we're going to have to get pressure on their QB because their WRs are very good. And we've gotta stuff the run.

I really liked how our DLine and young LBs played this past Saturday. They got better every series.

I thought Boom called two key timeouts on that last series.

1) When he saw his DLine was gassed.
2) When he saw that big 6-4 WR of theirs lined-up in man on man coverage with Jam. That may have saved the game for us.
