I understand the coaching flow chart "logic" but doesn't putting 3 up on the board right there change some momentum given the game up to that point, at the very least ,outside of taking the lead in the 4th quarter vs a top 10 conference opponent on the road?

I would be all for that decision as a home dog vs a top 10 team.

Or how about giving the ball to a running back that's hard to bring down. Maybe 12 personnel and run behind Green and Jordon Harris and make Vandy stop that.

There is that too my friend.

Lots of questions need to be answered after the Bama and Vandy games. Don't believe its a talent gap issue at all.

Never seems there are hard questions turned on Mizzou staff from the STL/KC media

I'm tired of the "be grateful" where we came from BS at this point.


HFC needs to do better, if not, enjoy the short tenure in Florida or in Rhythmic Valley. You asked the fans and alum to step up and they have.

Its your turn again coach.

Hardy was practically begging for the ball all night, I now know how Seahawks fans feel like in that Superbowl.

If you're talking about 4th and 2 to go, I agree with you. I would have taken the three. And I probably would have taken the three on the second 4th and goal to go where we scored the touchdown.

The game flipped on the Vandy 80 yard run and the strip-fumble which set them up at the 20.

Mizzou's defense is legit. If Zollers can keep defenses honest Mizzou can win any SEC game.

Is our defense as good as Auburn's? They held Aggie to 16.

I don't have time this morning to do a deep dive into the stats, but they took away Marcel's Reed legs and he was mediocre throwing it. Mizzou's been taking away dual threat QB's legs all year, including Pavia.

You think Reed is going to buck this trend? At Faurot? I don't.

The question becomes- if we win out- is that good enough to get us a seat at the playoff table?

Texas A&M needs to lose one - to us, and then they need to win out.

A&M’s defense is as good as Auburn’s. And with our offense, that’s all they need.
