Rivals: 18
247: 12
ESPN: 10

Recruiting has been extra fun to follow under Drinkwitz.

Didn’t we have some NFL retread as an offensive analyst this year? Maybe get a different one.

Play calling. Lol.

This is always funny to me.

Play works? Good call. Play doesn’t? Bad call.

End of analysis

I guess you better be a smarter Mizzou fan. He is doing fine just wait until he gets his great recruiting classes in. I am saying 1 or two more great classes in and that will give Drinkwitz a chance to compete against top teams. That is the way you do it. While he is building the football program he may make mistakes now and then but not like Odom who just kept making same or new mistakes the following year and still made mistakes in his last season. You could tell Drinkwitz is miles better than Odom. In coaching and hiring coaches and recruiting a lot better too.

I'm not the only one that hates his game plans and play calling. Personally, I think that he needs to hire an offensive coordinator.(He is a very good recruiter)

Watch the bowl game next week vs. Army and if he hasn't changed his ways you will see....
1. A bunch of running plays to Badie
2. Jet sweeps
3. Dink and dunk passes
4. Checkdown passes
Most of these plays are either behind the line of scrimmage, at the line of scrimmage or just a few yards in front of the line of scrimmage. Temas are playing in the box making it hard for us to get anything going unless Badie breaks a long one.

What plays would you call if Bazelak was your Qb? You going to keep trying to stretch the field? You wouldn’t give the ball to our best player a lot? I would.

Now if you want to bag on him for playing Bazelak the I’ll certainly agree but complaining about play calling without any context of WHY it was bad is silly.

You all need to review the tape of the LSU win last year. He called those plays too.

Bazelak has been repeatedly injured and limited, but he's the one Drink trusts for now. The plays have been altered to deal with his limitations, the inability of recievers to get seperation, as well as to simply keep a suspect defense off the field as much as possible. By the time the defense came around, the offense was entrenched. And it worked.

I wonder as well: With Horn coming in next year, was there a need to let Bazelak go as far as he could, to make him accept his own limitations when Horn eventually replaces him. He cannot say he wasn't given every chance to succeed.

In any case, I reserve judgement. Army will tell us something. Next year will tell us more.

Who takes the first snap at QB for Mizzou?

I'm going with Cook.

I don't think Ballsack sees the field.

Reminds me of when Ole Miss had a top ten recruiting class in 2013 but really underachieved the next few years with Hugh Freeze. Looks great on paper but this is the show me state.

Personally, I just want to see development of players. That's what Mizzou's success was built on.

Yes but I think the season was vacated due to some recruiting violations

9-4 - 2014 (expectations were as high as SEC championship)

Maybe I’m in the minority but I would love to have a season where 9-4 was a letdown.
