you think Arch lost control of the ball when his arm was moving forward, despite the Mizzou slapping the ball/hand when Arch's arm was cocked back?


Similar thing happened a couple years ago, and I can't recall if it were Milroe or Young. But, ruled a fumble when the ball moved forward like 10-15 yards in the air. It is just what it is.

I do think that rule should be reviewed and updated. If the QBs hand pushes the ball forward (under control or not) it should be a forward pass. If that same play happens, and it is caught in the air, it would have been and INT or reception, not a fumble recovery.

Just take the guess work out of the call. A QB can pitch a ball forward in any manner they choose and it counts as a forward pass. If it is pushed forward with a pinky, regardless of when it comes loose, it should be a forward pass.

For fun let's suppose Missouri instead of Texas had recovered the Arch "fumble". Would the replay booth have ruled it an incomplete pass?

On two of the Missouri receptions called back the receivers had their hands and arms between the ground and the ball. Review of course ruled them incomplete.

The receiving touchdown called back showed the receiver had both hands on the ball as he went down then the ball popped out on the side as he hit the ground. That was very close and I have seen catches like that ruled complete touchdowns in other reviews.

That receiver had to catch the ball one handed in the first place because his other arm was held back by the Texas defensive back while the ball was in the air. No defensive pass interference called.

I am surprised there is so much national attention on this fix. Maybe LSU will get a fair deal when they play Texas next week because of it.

I would not count on it though.

Don't bet on either team.

Everyone has trouble with mobile quarterbacks. The pass rushers have to carefully try to contain the qb from running 40 yards downfield. This can give them extra time to pick their target and throw the ball. If the qb is a good passer as well as a good runner that is a big problem. Daniels and Hooker were nightmares to defend. LSU has the players to pull this off but will they?

Looking forward to a fun game to watch Saturday.

Chip Lindsey is throttling this offense down. Simmons is clearly one of the better qbs we've had in a long time.

The type of offense he needs is Chip Kelly not Chip Lindsey

Drink's trademark seems to be "lets establish the run game". Sometimes it takes until mid 3rd quarter to get the run game going and we are down 20-10 by then.

Maybe with Simmons being such a good passer we can break that "get the run game going mold".

When the Feminists in Britain and France that advocated for Muslims to enter their country are living under Sharia Law it will be positively hilarious.

What about stuff like offshore workers or the many other jobs where people are gone regularly. Not everyone can drop everything to show up for one single day I don't see the issue with limited (not talking about months on end) in person early voting

Those people still have mail in ballots. So long as the ballot is received and counted on or before election day.

If you have never seen a mail in ballot it has two parts. One is an envelope with your name and voter information on it. The second part is a ballot that you fill out with your choices. The filled in ballot is placed in the envelope with your voter information on it. The ballot is generic and has no identification about who the voter is or where that vote came from. If the ballot comes in that envelope the county knows it is a valid vote.

During recounts it has come out the election authority did not save the envelope with the voter information on it. They say they don't have facilities to store all those envelopes. There should be one mail in ballot for each envelope but with the envelops gone there is no way of knowing if there are fake manufactured ballots. All that is stored is the vote ballot. Anyone can fill out a hundred ballots and put them in a drop box.

So when a candidate is winning on election day but slowly starts to lose as mail in ballots are counted a week or two after election day it makes you wonder if someone is is making as many fake ballots as they need to win.

I was looking forward to watching LSU fans gnaw at Brian Kelly's butt this off season.

Instead they fire him and the AD, eat a huge buyout, and walk out of the rubble with Lane Kiffin. Well done LSU,

That is truth. The right QB covers a multitude of sins

The Malzhan offense was awesome when he had Nick Marshall to execute it. Was all downhill after Marshall left. Gus held on at Auburn for many years though.

Bernie Miklasz made a video about the offense. As always he just says what he thinks.

His stats are only against SEC teams. Here are some highlights:

Missouri scores 22 points per game. 10th in the SEC. But if you remove the Mississippi State game they score 16 points per game.

After the first drive against Oklahoma that scored 3 points the rushing attack was held to just 23 yards for the rest of the game.

The passing attack stats put us at or near the bottom of the conference. He lists them.

I have always been a Drink fan but am starting to wonder if he can or will improve the offense. Is the problem Quarterbacks? O-Line? Receivers? Scheme?

A link to Bernie's video: The stats start about 9 minutes in. Video is 25 min long.
