The broad view is a tough one...young QB getting thrown into the hardest conference in the land. Some of the smaller things are nice. This offensive line for the most part has proved itself to be pretty good. He has a ton of playmakers around him. Even though he is starting against a set of very good teams that is 3 games at home...the run of games at home I think is really going to help things. |

I'm not as bummed as some people are I guess. Franklin was a nice player, I'm sorry to see it end this way for him, but Mauk was going to be the future at QB anyway... so the future is now.
We're bowl eligible, we have a pretty favorable schedule coming up... is it scary to play the whole SEC schedule with a freshman QB? Sure, but if you were going to, this is probably the year. |

Mauk's not the foregone starter next year, Eddie Prinz very well may beat him out. I haven't seen enough of either to have a clearly defined opinion other than seeing Prinz throw it just enough to say he looks the part.
That said, Mauk looked very green yesterday and understandably so, he is green! The one thing that is very important is that he has his first two starts at home to get his feet wet. Fla struggled to score yesterday hopefully that bodes well. I expect Mauk to struggle due to inexperience and facing one of if not the best defense in the nation next week. Everyone else must pick up their game. It's still a game MU can compete in provided they take care of the ball. Tigers were impressive yesterday.

Well said from RockMNation I agree.
http://www.rockmnation.com/2013/10/1...analysis-video Missouri just blew open the SEC East. The only question is whether they sunk their own chances to win the division in the process. |

What a game and what a bittersweet day.
On one hand, we see Missouri make a BIG statement. I don't care that Georgia was without stars on offense. That is still a team playing with a great QB - the best in the SEC, IMO - and great athletes at the skill spots. That Georgia offensive line is still fantastic, and the Missouri defensive line more than held its own. Georgia was able to gash it a beat with some spread option runs, but the Tigers DL is for real. It held up well against pro-styling running and consistently put pressure on Murray. Michael Sam, Kony Ealy, Markus Golden, Shane Ray... the Tigers have top-line SEC quality and depth at DE. And are surprisingly effective in the middle, where they aren't playing a single key player (Matt Hoch, Lucas Vincent, Harold Brantley, Josh Augusta) who won't be back a year from now. Missouri faced some adversity and came through it. It won this game without its best defensive player (or at least more irreplaceable) in EJ Gaines for 3 quarters, and without its best offensive player for the decisive 4th quarter. This team took a tremendous flurry of punches in the 3rd quarter, and the just came back from them in the 4th and took care of business. Josh Henson looks like a true star at OC. YEs, the Georgia defense is not good, but Henson's playcalling clearly befuddled the Bulldogs for much of the day, and he showed balls of fricking steel to call the WR option when he did. Head coach in waiting could be happening before our eyes. And finally, on to Maty Mauk. It sucks that Franklin is down, because of how calm and in control he has been. But Mauk has legitimate potential in his own right. I'm confident you'll see more from him than the Tigers got from Corbin Berkstresser a year ago. It's going to be all about how quickly he can acclimate to the speed. He has the physical ability to be effective and is a confident kid. If Missouri can get through the next two games 1-1, it will be in the race in the SEC East and probably be playing for the division against Texas A&M later this year. If it manages to sweep Florida and South Carolina - a tall but do-able task - Missouri will be almost impossible for Florida and South Carolina to catch. At that point, Georgia would need the Tigers to lose TWO of the four games against Tennesee (Home), @Kentucky, @Ole Miss and aTm. South Carolina and Florida would need the Tigers to lose THREE of those four games. All on Mauk. We'll see how he responds.
