Connor shaw was hurt at the end of the 4th. We were in the whole game or leading while he played. Moron.

FSU favored by 21 over Miami. Do they know something about Miami that nobody else does? That line is just screaming at me but I feel like I'm being baited.

Oregon St -4 over USC
UGA -3 over Fla

Ok, you're officially an idiot. Shaw played but all of a series at the end of the game. Quit trying to minimize UT to feel better about your hot garbage of a football team.

That's all many of you folks do on this board. You can't beat some teams on the field, so you minimize everything about the other team/fans/state to make yourself feel better. Doesn't really work though, does it?

Missouri has some fast skill people. A damn good dline as well. It's going to be a other tough game. 13 is about right imo..

Their QB play is what you'd expect out of a redshirt FR though, and their entire offense runs around it. That's the biggest part though.

Injury reduced their offense from having a power runner throwing 60-70% of their passes to a guy that only picks up maybe 20 yards a game and has thrown 50% and 40% completion rates in his last two games.

last night vs. USC was the first time to watch Mizzou. Overall, they are an impressive team. Like you said, their skill positions are fast. The WR are big as well. But, what impressed me the most was their front four. They too are fast and they recover extremely quick. Sam is a terror and is disruptive as I have seen all year. But, from what I saw last night, their D is very aggressive, almost too aggressive at times, and SC made them pay by dialing up screens. I don't know if this is typical Mizzou but if it is, I hope Jones takes note of this

I'd take UT +13, but given our poor performance on the road this year, that line doesn't really surprise me. We looked awful against a Florida team that will likely struggle to get more than 6 wins.

Mizzou is playing with a back up qb, was undefeated and blew a 17 point lead to a good team and lost in overtime. That's who they are. If UT beats Mizzou in Columbia i'll be impressed. Mizzou is the better team but anything can happen in the SEC!

I do not bet, but would take Mizzou and the points after seeing their front 7 last night. I have no faith in our OL, especially Tiny's left side of the line.

Mizzou has speed but after looking at that USC game, mizz should have lost by about 2-3 TDs in regulation. Their speed and athleticism gives them some upside but overall, not too impressed.

Now, who was it that you beat yesterday? Oh, never mind.

If you think that we are worried about Vandy, you are sadly mistaken.

That QB doesn't have to do much apparently. They are still doing well. Their strength is in big, long, athletic receivers.

And even with that, he completed only 40% of his passes last night, and that includes only 4 completions total in the second half.


For comparison, the starter was completing 70% to at worst 64% of his passes each game before he went down with injury.




They don't have a guy to keep running that offense the way they did with the starter (once he went down with injury); as a result they've had to shift towards running and passing it much less (it took OT to reach 25 attempts for the kid last night) due in part to lack of comfort with that aspect of their offense now.

Not to mention 90 of his yards were on one completion on a play that should have been cut to about 30.

Remove the big play, he threw about 38% on the night for 153 yards, no TDs, and an INT.

The kid looks like he's not ready to be out there for the big games; not having an experienced, backup QB to Franklin (after the injury) is probably going to be looked back as what really derailed their season.

Are you guys worried about our injured safties? If they can't go, i don't see how we can beat this team at thier place with those athletic WRs they have?
