There is a lot of truth to this I believe.

Guessing it's the same reason there are so few replays on SEC Network broadcasts. Can't complain about egregious missed calls by the refs if you can't see them!!!
Drink deserves credit for building the program. He has lifted the floor and produced 2-3 teams with really high ceilings that they did not reach. (Feels like an evaluation of Pinkel)
It feels like Drink and his various staffs have showed the ability to build a Top 10-15 roster. Unfortunately, that has been matched with a Top 25-level game day coaching ability.
The best teams - the ones we are chasing and want to beat - have a Top 10-level roster AND Top 10-level game day coaching.
Until something changes, teams with equal or better talent than Mizzou will always have a coaching advantage to lean on in close games.

A comment that feels like it is in the same Big 8 vein.
Who could have imagined an OU team hurting from an inability to complete a forward pass?????

This far into the season, with questions about how healed he really is, he should just shut it down and try to heal up completely so he can show scouts he is 100% again over a full season next year.
Maybe he will be able to do some amazing things over a half season to peak their interest and overcome the injury doubts, but that feels unlikely.
And maybe it's a Henry Josey situation, and there is no getting back to 100% any year.

in a season filled with Jekyll and Hyde performances from nearly every position group, the offensive line is the most Jekyll and Hyde I think. It looked like they had fixed their issues, but they went back to looking lost on way too many plays against Ole Miss.

Yeah, DO has been fading into the background the last couple of games it feels like. This would be a great time to break back into the spotlight in a big way. We need him and Goode to keep the passing game from becoming the Lee show.
It does feel like the O-line is solidifying for Roberts. Feels like the coaches are getting the confidence to run left or right to match the situation. Guessing Wilson is correcting whatever flaws we were seeing the first couple of weeks. Work feels like the weak link, and he appears to be highly functional.
I have not watched Ole Miss much. Their offense seems to have a stud receiver in Alexander, a good tight end, and a good running back in Lacy if he's healthy. Do they have more than that for our D to handle??

Inexperienced tackles for Ole Miss. Music to my ears.
Chambliss can scramble. Hope we keep up with the rush lane discipline and can afford to let Rodriguez and Woodyard hang out close to the line and clean up when Chambliss flees the pocket.

I just hope the Ole Miss D has not improved since their game against FL.
The Gators pretty much did what they wanted to, pass or rush.
If they put the same D out there, we will be able to pass and get some rushing yards with other guys.

Hope you are right. We need someone to step up as a 3rd down back to start giving Roberts more breather snaps. We can't afford for him to get worn down with the schedule coming at us.
And he throws into double and triple coverage multiple times a game.
He has gotten away with it so far, and threaded some passes for nice completions. So Far. Don't think that is a smart strategy against the more elite defenses we have coming.
It's only been 2 or 3 times a game, but in a battle against a top team, 1 or 2 interceptions can be all that's needed to turn the game.

I would only add Fowlkes has improved the punt return position

The D-line may not have put up great sack #s against A&M, but I would argue they did a great job. Shut down the run game, including the supposedly explosive young back the announcers were going on about early in the game.
Helped make A&M 1 dimensional and rushed with great discipline all game long. Snap after snap, they moved the Aggy line back swiftly enough to pressure Reed quickly without deviating from their pass rush lanes. The lanes left for Reed to run directed him right to Rodriguez and Woodyard, time after time after time.

Did I hear right that Hopkins already has 8 sacks?!?!?!?
I hope he keeps Webb at DE. The rest of the DT rotation showed well last week and he did a good job of adding some beef on the edge against the run.

good news on the Rant and on the main page.
Got the transplant, got through surgery, and is recovering.

Agreed. You just keep hearing his name a little bit more each week. He is developing and delivering nicely for a younger guy!!
And thanks Drydock for the song link

It's always annoying when Joel Klatt goes Danny Kanell-level stupid.
Mizzou has racked up a few "final straw" Ws in its time in the SEC.
