Lock's a different QB but in some ways Bryant can be better than him.
Lock's more aggressive; makes more splash plays but also more poor decisions. Now against 'Bama maybe that's the better route, but Bryant's less likely to make those god-awful decisions that we've seen from Lock too often.
Lock's a better pro prospect for sure, but Bryant could easily be as good or better as a college QB. Mizzou's not going into Alabama and beating them. Ever. But on a neutral site with a couple of good breaks, they could steal one. Again - they played Georgia to a near draw and just made too many mistakes in the process. They had the talent to win that game, they just didn't play their best game. And Georgia had 'Bama on the ropes.
If someone like Johnson or Knox takes a step forward, Albert O comes back and the DBs develop just a little more - they'd be in a situation where their BEST game could be Alabama if Alabama wasn't in top form. It's not likely, but its not impossible.
The problem is that they have GA on the road next year. That's going to be a huge hurdle for them.
