Does this mean anything for this game? It's a new year, and they just won a neutral site game. Have they had bad road schedule, or just don't play well away?

I personally believe their secondary is a weakness. Also not sold on their OLine. Everyone claims that NC State has some iron curtain defensive line, but 31 yards on 21 carries?

I think it will be a close game, as they all seem to be with the Cocks.

Yeah, I agree it will be a close game. I'm just hoping our defense can keep them out of the end zone some, and our offense continues to percolate. I think 45-42 would be a reasonable score with our Tigers coming out on top! Well still have some disappointing moments, but hopefully less than last week.

I just feel that SC is better at 2/3 phases of Football. I hope our guys make the proper adjustment by game time.

If our defense can score a C- grade I feel like we win.

I think our offense is slightly better than theirs but I don't think it's as big of a gap as some seem to think. Hope I'm wrong there. But I know we put up 70 something in a game last year too. Hard to read anything from that.

Their defense is better than our defense by a larger margin than our offense is better than theirs.

ST - Just don't know to be honest.

When I watch them play the only thing that stands out is Bentley and that WR. Everything else appears to be well below SEC average.

This really is a must win for Mizzou if this season is going to end up with a bowl.

Well. I'm not convinced their rushing attack is as good as ours. Get a ten point lead and lean on Crockett and company. It's all about getting a decent lead before they do.

I'll go with a score of 38-35

It isn't. We have one of the best running games in the SEC. They aren't even middle of the pack.

If I had to point to the great equalizer in this game its the Missouri running game. If you get a double digit lead and Odom pulls back on the reigns then Missouri has an option to play keep away while still moving the ball and scoring points.

Not sure South Carolina has that option with their offense.

That having been said, their defense looked quite a bit better then yours. Still, while NC State has a solid offense they don't push the tempo very much so their defense could fade in a shoot out type game.

NC State ran 99 plays. If they weren't pushing the tempo, SCar's defense is in trouble next week.

Make no mistake, ours is in trouble for sure.

I'd love to believe Odom has the smarts to milk clock with a lead. I'm just not convinced.
