re: Game 6 - Missouri - 10/17 - 2:30pm SECN

While, true… the swamp doesn’t account for a 30 point swing. You guys kicked the ever living shite out of us. It was also a perfect storm coming off of an emotional win, but I’m not convinced that we’ve turned things around yet just because we beat up on a really bad Vandy.

They certainly looked like they fixed some of the glaring issues on defense after the bye week, but this will be their first true test

Been looking for positive stats, and here is what I have come up with:

When we have the ball:
Mizzou has only faced 1 competent QB, Kamario Taylor. And he scored 31 points. Everyone else they have made one dimensional because they didn’t respect the passing game. We have scored 32+ in every game but UF and we would have broken it there too if Kutas doesn’t get punched in the eye and his backup immediately gives up a sack fumble. I think we score roughly 35 points.

When Mizzou has the ball:
Partially my optimism is just assuming we can’t possible be as bad at tackling as we were against UF. But Mizzou will definitely test that theory. Also, UF scored on a 0 yard drive after we failed a 4th down conversion at our own 30, a 26 yard drive after a kickoff return, and the damn targeting penalty turned a FG into a TD. If we just clean that up, that’s 14 points right there.

Definitely don’t expect a comfortable win, but not as worried as the common opponent games against UF would suggest.
