Just saw in the thread that the game's on. I've got it on now.

I really don't like games like this. These two teams have no business playing each other. It's the antithesis of sportsmanship. But college football is what it is.

Blow out.

might put up a hundo

Please don't say again that Brady Cook has worked on the deep ball all offseason.

They need to find a different 3rd down song to play at the stadium

Starting to look like they've stopped giving a shit.

Yeah, games over and it's kinda just sit back now. Relax and think about next week.

Please also stop saying "teachable moment".

I like these RBs.

Not sure we learned anything else.

Damn, that sack/fumble was brutal. :evil:

We will find out if they are a good team or a great team.

As the DT destroyed the middle I just said “oh god, don’t kill him…”

It was hilariously inevitable pretty much immediately.

Missed a couple deep balls but overall solid. RBs, O-line, WR depth, and speed on defense look nice. Cook didn’t really heat up until game 3 or 4 last season and you could tell he was just a little too hyped tonight. Over threw a few. He’ll be fine I’m sure. Gonna be a fun season.

Both lines looked dominant against inferior competition. Not worried about replacing Cody Schrader’s production. Brady Cook a very good quarterback but extremely limited. He’s the Alex Smith of college football.

A field goal here would be very important to some.....

As of right now, Mizzou is a great team

Mizzou will lose 4 games this year maybe more.

What’s the word on the Norfleet injury?

I almost took the under. I’m so glad I put down my phone, that would’ve been excruciating

Why do you believe that?

Brain damage?

Hope this year's prediction goes as well for us as the one you made almost exactly a year ago! :thumb:

As I was driving home from the game, the radio said he came out of the tunnel, shook his head when asked how he was, and was despondent.

Makes me worry it's his collarbone or a separated shoulder.

Did Corey Flagg really have 5 sacks tonight? ESPN is crediting him with 5.

No.

I mean he was flying around; maybe 5 total TFLs if you include sacks in that count, but I don't think he had 5 sacks. Hell, I'm not sure I remember 1.

The team speed on the unit looked really impressive. Again, hard to tell against an overmatched squad, but even those small schools usually have impressive athletes and just don't have the bulk. Anytime they tried to get out wide, guys were flying to the football.

Then on that last drive as they started the bubble screen I just said "Oh man, you're gonna get someone wrecked..."

Sure enough, that DB came flying out of the secondary and blew that thing apart.

You could just tell the defense was bringing heat all night.

Best news of the day.

Honestly, I'm excited that the defense never let them get a rhythm going. I mean, I know it's Murray State, but seemingly good focus out there overall.

I'm used to so many Mizzou games through history where they shit the bed when they got someone dead to rights, it's nice to get what we should expect, a good ol' fashioned beatdown of a lesser opponent.

Also... really liking Carroll a lot from what I saw yesterday.

The RBs looked awfully good.

The LB transfers (and the DT) looked damn good.

Easy opponent but it looked like all the new additions hit the ground running. This team is likely to be as good or better than last years. And it has a softer schedule.

Now that said, football's a weird game and Mizzou got some breaks last season that they may not get this time. So if they wanted to be a playoff team, it's likely that they NEEDED to be better than last season.

So far, so good.

That defense looked REALLY fast and athletic. I know it's poor competition, but "fast and aggressive" will be a glaring advantage in all but a few games. Going to be fun!

Sharing all the caveats about the competition we faced.

We looked so fast on that field in damn near every position. Really excited to watch these RBs do work and make it even harder to defend our WRs.

Thought we looked big and fast across the board. Hope Norfleet is ok.

It looked like Murray St didn't even belong on the same field. Which is expected, but I sure can remember plenty of MU teams letting cupcakes hang around with them for 3-4 quarters. I mean last year we only beat Middle Tennessee St by 4.

Always liked him. Awesome that he still gets to play.

**** Connor Bazelak. Little ****ing bitch.

I can't get this mother****er out of my life.

My usual streams aren't working. Does anyone have a reliable one?

Check your PMs, good sir.

Dudes shit after what he did to this team.

Kicking the shit out of them. Still haven't allowed a score this season.

When he threw that interception to lose the Boston College game the dude looked like he didn't give a f*** at all, it pissed me off.

Not able to see the game locally so I have a question....

Not seeing Luther Burden being featured in the stats line...are they just not going to hom much right now or is there something going on with his health?

I see Wease has 149 yards in receptions but not much from Burden.

Also....it seems like every time Mizzou seems to have a big play they get called for a penalty.

Left the game with an illness.

All of the sudden Boston College and Vanderbilt look like tough games.

Luther left with an illness.

Defense has been excellent so far. They got away with some questionable hand fighting that likely would have been penalties in conference, but their tackling and gap discipline looks great.

The offense concerns me so far. They haven't used the middle of the field much at all in the passing game, and Cook still looks off. His legs cover up a lot of weaknesses, but he needs to pass like he did in the early conference slate last year. South Carolina looks like a much tougher game now.

They all look tough now. Even Arkansas.

Arkansas may be the dumbest team in college football.

They sure are.

Regarding preseason expectations, Auburn doesn't. Alabama doesn't. Oklahoma doesn't. And Arkansas is still coached by a stone cold dumbass.

Very true. Lets see.

OMG! The sky is falling.

I think the offense and Brady Cook start looking better next week against better competition. They haven't really needed to do much, but BC looks pretty decent, especially that run game. They have 5 guys averaging 50+ rush yards a game and another averaging 40. That's pretty impressive even though they've played 2 games.

The offense will look damn good come Saturday. Bank on it.

So where do we think Mizzou lands in the polls tomorrow? Notre Dame will be out of the top 10, and we should jump Penn State for that performance they had. 7?

Number 6. Damn!

As long as they keep winning, they're on the way to the Playoff.

Even a loss to Alabama on the road won't stop it.

Penn State moving up in the coaches poll is ridiculous

Just as bad was Oregon staying put....they have not been anywhere close to impressive.

Oh no question.

If they lose 1 and it's to Alabama or Oklahoma, they're fine. They might be able to lose 2 if they beat Bama or OK.

If they beat Bama and OK but trip up against two lesser opponents, it'll be interested to see how that works out.

But they very obviously control their own destiny. Let's say they lose to a (suddenly) ranked BC team this weekend but then end up splitting the OU/AL games and win the rest, that's PROBABLY enough to get into the post-season.

But they've gotta take care of business. This isn't a year you can have a "Because, Mizzou" sort of outlook. Everything this program has ever wanted is there for the taking. They have the talent and they have a schedule that should allow them to get through the season fairly healthy.

Just gotta get the job done.

Damn. Kind of sucks to give up 7 on that drive.

Running QB + stupid penalty and a nice push off by the WR

Penalty was brutal.

The wr did push off on their touchdown

One positive from that drive: no penalties on the OL

Their qb is cocky, need to plant his ass

Whoever scheduled the Boston College games was a moron, there was nothing to gain from it and you lost both games. Good job.

Thats PI...held his arm down

We're looking very pedestrian so far.

Another pass interference missed by the refs that screw us

This game looks fixed.
