We're too soft to go on the road and compete with a halfway decent SEC team, this year.
Last year, maybe. But this year....yeah, they're gonna kill us.
UCF is better than Mizzou
I agree. I do not necessarily expect us to beat beat Mizzou but I certainly see no reason why we could not. It should be a good game, I expect it to be pretty close.
We have been horrible on the road. Any chance of rain? Game goes to Mizzou by 10 if it is dry. Get a thundershower and we get washed away. I just don't want to many of our guys hurt. We will need them to finish out the AAC schedule.
We are 1-3-3
Meaningful wins (counting all Conf. games as such) 1
Cupcakes 3
Meaningful losses 3
“Unless there was some magic potion that Norvell found between since Saturday, best-case scenario is Tigers win a shootout.”
These comments are funny. Last week it was “the only way we beat UCF is if A,D &C happens and D doesn’t.”
Now after we outplayed UCF (who would kick Mizzou’s a**) on the field in virtually every statistical category, it’s “we can’t play with SEC team, it’s on the road this week, it might rain”; you guys are either not real fans or the most pessimistic Bi***** I’ve ever seen.
First off, name calling is unnecessary. Grow up.
Second, I said in a handful of posts that it wasn't UCF that won that game, we lost it due to horrendous late-game management by the coaches/QB, a defensive secondary that struggled, and some unfortunate, untimely penalties/non penalties.
That being said, the game was at home where we are a very good team at home at the Liberty Bowl (16-3 with CMN as head coach in true home games). On the road, it is a different story, as we are 6-6 in CMN's tenure in true road games, and 6-8 when we are the "road team" including bowl games.
The game is at Mizzou (road), and homecoming. The seemingly-accurate comparable game that people are using (Purdue) was in West Lafayette, so Purdue had its home field advantage in the narrow loss. In that game, the Purdue QB had to throw for a ridiculous amount of yards to keep it close - that was the only way Purdue could win that game was to win in a shootout, and still couldn't do it in the 40-37 loss.
If we win by a 14-10 score on Saturday, I'll be one of the first ones on here praising the defense, but the numbers just don't show that it is going to happen. The last four weeks we gave up 35 to South Alabama, 40 at Tulane, 14 to a terrible UConn team, and 31 to UCF. Outside of UCF, I would put Missouri's offense above any of the others.
