Upset Alert

Game of the Week

 

Had the BYU game...

 

tossed up some huge bricks here... none of those games were even close.

[SpongeWorthy]

Mizzou is going to get something figured out with their defense.

 

Those offensive line splits are absurd too.

[manbearcub]

Oh and it still looks crazy to say Shonn Greene will leave for the NFL doesn't it? 25 carries for 217 and 4 TD's against a very good run defense. Yes, lol indeed.

OK, where do the experts show him going in the draft exactly?

They know how to pick apart bad teams, but don't know how to hang with good teams. I still think Pinkle is a complete moron. He does a lot of weird things (like the crazy splits, sometimes putting only a guard on one end but no tackle), but nobody says anything because Mizzou trounces people. Then they play good teams that are too athletic to try stupid stuff against.

[SouthSideRyan]

Our defense effin blows.

[SpongeWorthy]

The thought of "Mack Brown: Multiple national championship winner" is scary.

The "experts" have no idea where anyone will get drafted at this point of the year and the good ones don't make deep projections because they know that.

 

If he leaves, he'll be drafted by round 4 at the latest where he's an extremely safe bet to make the team. And because he's 23, obviously isn't a big fan of being a student and has little to gain next year by coming back, he will (should) likely enter.

[SpongeWorthy]

There you go. POUND McCoy.

[SpongeWorthy]

Mizzou is completely outclassed up front.

Barring extreme circumstance, I don't understand why you'd recommend a 4th rounder leave early.

[Magnetic Curses]

if we lose to indiana because the defense just doesn't feel like trying again, i'm just going to freak out.

[Butterscup1679666578]

This D is pathetic.

[SpongeWorthy]

Ron Zook: Still an awful coach.

[dew1679666265]

TOUCHDOWN TENNESSEE!!!

 

Nick Stephens hit Austin Rogers for the 21 (or so) yard TD.

 

But, now they're reviewing whether his knee was down before the ball got in...

[Butterscup1679666578]

So is this O-Line.

[Post Count Padder]

Got a little scared at first, but, dang did we dominate in the second half.

 

We FINALLY beat Michigan.

[Sammys Boombox]

So is this O-Line.

 

Way too much pressure on our offense. No chance at a run. Defense can't make a stop. This is not going to be fun. I thought our players looked down before it even started. They look like the Cubs out there, folding under pressure.

Well, apparently Rogers' knee was down at the one. ](*,)

Texas has the top two o-linemen coming in next year :-)

Mason Walters OT 6'7" 285 TX

Paden Kelley OT 6'6" 280 TX

[dew1679666265]

Now touchdown Tennessee for sure!

 

Montario Hardesty ran this one in and it's 13-3 Tennessee.

[Magnetic Curses]

Ron Zook: Still an awful coach.

 

i wouldn't say it's his coaching, i would say that it's his players not giving a damn and walking around out there in a haze, there is a lot of talent on this defense.

I personally think he'll go higher than that. I think that's a worst case scenario.

 

The reason it would be recommended is that he's a running back and he's 23. I would recommend almost every running back who has a big season and NFL tools to get as much guaranteed money as you can when you can get it. The less mileage on your body, the better.

If he comes back I suppose he can work on improving his receiving skills. He's already a good pass blocker for a RB, probably can't show a lot more as a runner and isn't likely to have a better o-line. Is that enough to offset being a 24 year old entering the draft, adding a few hundred more hits on his body and the risk of injury? Not in my opinion.

Neat.

[Sammys Boombox]

I love how before the game everybody was saying that Mizzou had the least likely chance of a letdown since they lost last week and Texas beat OU and now Musburger says that this is a carry-over from the upset last week that MIzzou is playing bad. Maybe they're just playing bad, last week and this week. Or maybe Pinkle's teams are never ready for big games...
