I actually I haven't watched any of this game except for the three plays that Missouri gained 40 yards,or more, on right before kicking a field goal before half

I know some say take Rattler out to not get him injured, but you can’t do that yet, sends the wrong message to the team that you are giving up. You never give up as a coach, never. That said, honestly I don’t know what they can do. Definitely scrape the game plan, try some wildcat to take pressure off Rattler to play every down. Especially with Legette out of the game. We all want to see Harbour play, so get him some play time. Offense just needs to get first downs at this point. Coming out guns blazing will only make this worse, especially since we are shooting blanks.

Blanton again not knowing where the pass is missed an interception - where is Pup Howard

It's amazing that when Eli drinkwitz was available we didn't even pursue him. Missouri has steadily gotten better over the last couple years and we have stagnated.


On another note, Maybe we can get some momentum here and make us not so embarrassing

I think it's cool that Drinkwitz has a player on defense named after Scotch whisky (Johnny Walker, Jr).

Would have liked to see a run on 3rd down then go for it on 4th. But since we didn’t, I don’t have a problem with the field goal. Go defense. Maybe Mizzou will start playing not to lose.

I think one of three things has happened in these last drives: they've gone conservative in their play calling which has allowed us to do something defensively, our defense is playing better, or someone else started calling the defense. The offense is what's holding us back today

Yep. DEAD! The rivals board did not (nor Mrs Satterfield) even bother to start a game thread.

Dropped pass by the freshman on the last drive was a killer.

I feel like we should take a poll of who did yard work instead of watching this game.

Good to see Mario gaining 4+ yards a pop, definitely the right man for starting RB. (and I say this without sarcasm!)

I know we go for it sometimes when we shouldn’t, but that may have been the time. But…. If Mizzou continues to play conservative and we control the run, time is still there. Let’s get a stop D. This is it right here.

There's life here, yet. At least we have a reasonable kicker otherwise we could still be shut out. Just look at how bad Clemson's kicker was at the beginning of the year. If we had that guy we very very well have 0 points on the board

That really wasn't a bad throw. I don't think Omega Blake jumped at the right point or maybe didn't take his route quite deep enough

I get it, but are we good enough to convert those plays? Not yet. But give it to Rattler. The guy has no blocking and no Legette but he’s still balling. That pic was on the receiver. That guy has hart. Defense did play better even if Mizzou played conservative. They didn’t get gashed so much in the run game. Team hasn’t quit on the coach.It looked like they might at half time. No morale victory, just manned up and played better. Could have been a blowout like muschamp against Ole Miss his last year. The team is still fighting even though they stink.

34-12 with no TDs isn't a blowout, but still a somewhat disappointing performance.

Very disappointing , just saying the team didn’t lay down in the 2nd half. Lost this game in the first half and sadly would have lost it if we had played better in the 1st half. We can’t cover anyone and can’t block. Bad way to try to play college football.

Back in the BCS era, college football tried to quantify a "blowout". They capped the margin of victory calculation at 21, to stop from encouraging people to run up the score.

Since then, I've always considered 21 points to be a blowout. Jmo.
