There is no doubt that we suck on the road this year .... big time. Kentucky and Vanderbilt may very well be the only two teams we could have beaten away from Neyland this season. Heupel must address this problem going forward. Since the South Carolina game a year ago, his team plays with ZERO confidence away from home. We always look lethargic and timid.
I guess we did give Alabama a pretty good half, if you want to find a positive.
We don't really have much history with them. It's just been since they joined the SEC in 2012. It's not like we were playing them in the 80's and 90's when they were losing to Oklahoma and Nebraska by scores like 77-0. Yes ... one of Woody Widenhofer's teams did lose to Oklahoma by such a score. 1986, I think.Historically we're 6-6 against them, and they've pounded us about as many times as we've pounded them.

Nope . I didn't have a problem with Heupel running his offense until the game was over last year and I don't have a problem with Dorkazits throwing it right back at him. Maybe our players should put more practice into football fundamentals instead of goofy scripted celebration dances and handshakes.He had reason last year. Meh, nothing wrong with what Drink said.
Be that as it may, we don't "historically pound" them in any fair rendering of the meaning of those words as the prior poster suggested. It's been pretty even. Too bad we didn't play them in the 90's, we'd have run off 9 or 10 in a row to pad the head to head record a bit.We don't really have much history with them.

I welcome playing them on annual basis. I think pretty much every team in the SEC would as well.
That’s fair. Bama will beat them but MO played well at UGA.They've also had a very favorable schedule this year. The reality is, that Missouri has been an even worse road team under Drink, than Tennessee has been under Heupel. Their road games this season were Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Georgia and Arkansas. That's not something they will have going for them in most years. They play at Alabama next year. How do you suppose that will turn out for them?
We gave Florida one good series. That’s what baffles me. We made it look easy that first drive. Little did we know we wouldn’t get much else.There is no doubt that we suck on the road this year .... big time.

One thing about Heup is he keeps it on the field and let's actions speak. He will obviously hint about refs but as far as rivalries with coaches he doesn't say anything it seems.According to another article he said “We stand on business, Josh.” When I watched it live, CJH looked like he was sticking out his hand for a congratulatory handshake and there was no sign of anger at Missouri or the Coach. It was all one sided made up weirdness by Drinkwitz. I think he wanted it to be a big deal and about revenge while CJH was just disappointed in how we played. This was probably Drinkwitz biggest win ever. Heupel hasn't complained about the score in any subsequent interviews he just stressed the need to improve. Maybe Drinkwitz will mature but he has given some weird and creepy interviews since he got there. He also said he wanted his 12 year old daughter to date Brady Cook when she turns 18 which was beyond creepy. Weird dude!
