Good point... Still confused about that one. Welp, we all make mistakes I guess..

Wow....

Until we build some quality depth on the lines we are going to struggle.

Pinkel gambles, that is who he is. We lost because we turned the ball over and we had way too many self inflicted wounds in the first half.

They do need to adapt to run the ball more. We are going to have to be able to control possession because Franklin has quarters like he had here in the fourth.

Pinkel with some bad decisions tonight: aggressive when he needed to punt, and punted when he needed to be aggressive (4th and 9 at the 30 something of Georgia).

Offensive play-calling in the first half was abysmal. Needed to use the middle of the field more. Seemed surprised that #29 is really ****ing good, which is ridiculous.

Finally, Franklin wasn't sharp, and he needed to be.

Gonna be a long season

I'll bet Robinson is much more quiet tonight.

It's all good. It's the SEC, and we'll get better...

uh

MU had opportunities to make Georgia start gasping for air and they shit the bed.

Defense at least looked like it could hang in the SEC until they started getting banged up. Yost should probably pay attention to the best opponent, or Clowney is gonna ****ing destroy Franklin in 2 weeks.

When you lose, the play calling always looks bad. If you were getting the things you're supposed to do done, you wouldn't be losing in the first place.

Georgia has a front that should have devoured our offensive line all night long, but they weren't able to turn the game until the end.

Franklin is a nice player, but I don't think he is ever going to be one of those QBs that can put a team on his back in a close game and win it with his arm. His decision making just isn't good enough.

I'm somewhat encouraged, actually. The wheels fell off after Pinkel's atrocious fake punt call. Jones adjusted to what Mizzou's shambles of an o-line was doing to him and took over the game. That's what great defensive players will do to you: take you over.

A healthy Mizzou can absolutely hang with the SEC East's top teams, even snatch a victory every now and then. Mizzou can still be a 7 win team this year, and 8 wins aren't impossible if this young o-line gels together.

Guess Georgia was ranked #7 for a reason. They had a bunch of damn good players

Everything in the first half was underneath, which only allowed Jones to own more. When we went to the middle of the field, even at intermediate depth, things opened up substantially, and the pass rush eased notably.

The entire offense and staff seemed timid to me, which is to be expected to a certain degree.

The juxtaposition of the fake punt/punt decisions is inexcusable. Absolutely ****ing stupid and decisions that defy common sense.

The game was much, much better and closer than the score, though. As others have said, depth and beef are needed on the lines.

Overall, Mizzou will be fine.

A loss sucks, but I'm not really that disappointed in the performance. Everyone knows Georgia is a pretty damn good team.

I'm a little surprised our OL held up to that DL as well as they did. The play calling in the 1st half was lacking and for whatever reason it appeared they took their foot off the gas a couple times.

Looking forward to more SEC games!

Finally, Murray was a lot better than his stat line. Showed poise, courage, and accuracy.

He's a younger Stanzi with actual talent.

Could have been worse, I guess. We needed to get a big lead and then hold on for dear life when the superior line size and depth inevitably turned the tide. Didn't happen.

We're three-quarters of a tough SEC team right now.

Oh well.
