we lost the game when kirby decided to get cute with his play calling at the two yard line

The story is Mizzou's defense. That's it.

People score on Aggie. People score often on Aggie. This is not an issue. Starting QB, backup QB, or run from the pistol every play. You will score on Aggie.

Here's the catch - Aggie knows how to score. And thus far in 2025, they do it more often than their opponent.

This game is all about Mizzou defense. I've only seen one Mizzou game and their defense looked physical, but I have no idea how consistently good (or bad) they are.

Keep Aggie under 30 points, and Mizzou wins.


defense is great. probably top four in the sec with auburn, oklahoma, and texas. great front seven and ok secondary. main weakness is the safeties who are very aggressive against the run, but not very fast. carnell is as big as a linebacker and catalon is as slow as one.

we've done a great job not giving up chunk plays, but when we have given them up, we've given up our share of very big plays. for example, we are #7 in the nation 10+ yard runs given up, but we are the only team to have given up two runs of 80+ yards. we have given up like 760 rush yards total and 160+ of those on two runs

however, if we can't protect zollers and can't get the offense going, i still see the defense getting worn down in the second half and a&m scoring 30+ points
yah, if our line can't protect zollers i don't see any way our offense ever gets going. that is the biggest mismatch to me. im hoping for one of those really cool things where we somehow get some big plays real fast and go up by multiple scores early making it easier to rely on our ground game and defense

little brother threads are becoming an epidemic on the rant

True, we however played in four other title(national championships) afterwards. But you will NEVER sniff a title game. I still can’t fathom why mizzou plays varsity sports


you don't know why the flagship university of one of our nation's states plays varsity sports? that makes you sound pretty dumb
zollers is going to need to be some sort of qb savant with our oline against that pass rush in his first start. not looking good for the the sec's #1 tigers
so weird when lsu people start little brother threads about mizzou
zollers looked good in his quarter and change against vandy. i wouldn't be surprised if that is the best he looks this season. a&m by 100

Nope. This will be a close hard fought game. Not predicting a winner but media has been feeding the Aggies rat poison for 2 weeks.


nah, we are outclassed with a true freshman qb making his first start against the best pass rush in the country. a&m by 90
mizzou would be the better program if they'd claim that goldarn 1960 national championship

i don't see how having the reputation as a great program is all attractive for a prospective coach when the program is currently a dumpster fire. you'll get the expectation of matching past success when you don't have the same advantages that led to that success. it took drink four seasons before he had a winning record at mizzou. would he get that type of patience at florida, auburn or lsu?

lsu is currently much closer to competing for championships, and that makes them a bigger draw. i do think they could steal drink away, but he doesn't seem like a culture fit. i don't know why a coach that is already in a good spot would risk jumping to auburn or florida. for an sec or big 10 coach that is already succeeding, it'll be a very risky move. i think somebody like james franklin would be great for either school just to build the program back up and get them winning consistently at a higher level. history tells us he'd get ran off too

It’s all about the location.

Kansas is such an amazing place to coach, none of our last 8 coaches wanted to leave for other programs. We had to fire them all because they wouldn’t leave.

Except for Ohio State when they’re playing missouri. It’s negligible per missouri fans.


that was a particular situation where day had already decided the qb was trash and ran him off before the bowl game. all we heard was that the backup was actually a much better qb. it was hard to tell during the cotton bowl since he got sacked every time he dropped back and was knocked outo of the game early in the second quarter

this is gonna happen and mizzou will still be better than lsu. you can't just throw money at coaches because they have done well somewhere else. you actually need someone that fits your school
quote:

I thought they're just above .500 all time.
My question is how do they play so well with so little talent? They've been having multiple 10 win seasons since joining the SEC. Every time I write them off as a bottom dweller, they come right back shattering my expectations.


with pinkel, it was having great players at qb, de, and finding plenty of diamonds in the rough that weren't recruited much. aldon smith was a two star from kansas city that weighed like 200 pounds of high school. he went on to have like 11 sacks and 20 tfl his redshirt freshman season, got drafted in the first round, and had like 35 sacks his first two seasons before his love of partying and automatic weapons derailed his nfl career. we never had fantastic overall depth, so we'd still get exposed against elite teams with rosters full of blue chippers like oklahoma in 2007. we'd get bullied on the line in the second half against a lot of elite teams

with nil and the portal, eli's teams have a ton of talent, and he has done an excellent job at hitting on transfer players. i don't know if anybody has put together a rating for that, but drink has to be as good as anybody at getting production out of transfer players. we've been good the last three seasons with pretty much game managers at qb

if drink had pinkel's knack for finding superstar qbs, we probably would have won some of these close games against the better sec teams and gone to the playoffs the last two seasons

talking about how we're poor, i wouldn't say that exactly. however, we were finalists with indiana for mendoza this off season. if eli could have convinced some fatcat to cough up however much was needed to pull him, we'd be in a much better spot right now
yah, we ask the same question all the time. the year before the twelve team playoff began, we were not ranked highly enough to get into the four team playoff, but would have been in a 12 team playoff. the two seasons we've had the 12 team playoff, we are playing just poorly enough to be on the bubble and not get in.

being a mizzou and chiefs fan these recent years has caused some whiplash from one team that always does just enough to lose the really important games and another that always finds a way to win

Missouri is a good team. The team deserves a better fan base


shut the frick up
i could see us winning a close game. i could also see our defense keeping it close for a half or so, our offense with the freshman against a&m's pass rush not being able to do anything, and a&m winning the second half like 24-0 resulting in a blowout loss. our defense and skill position players on offense are as good as anybody's. i still have a sliver of hope
