I know we talked about Missouri in the trenches before this game and how it matched up...
I think it's pretty clear Missouri has a very good DL, and probably the best group of DEs in the SEC. It's also possible the only member of that unit Missouri loses in the offseason is Michael Sam... which would be a big loss, but they have a lot of talent behind him. Also, in re-watching the game, I'm pretty impressed by the performance of John Gibson (CB), Aarion Penton (CB) and Braylon Webb (S). The defense won't lose much next year and could progress to being a real strength.

Something else that bears repeating: How ****ing bad was David Yost at his job?
Look at what this team did with Christensen, how the offense cratered despite having Gabbert, Washington, DX, and Egnew, and what it has done this year. Henson has done very well, and has made necessary, positive changes, but I think it only underscores how incompetent his predecessor was.

And that one play that Webb made on the pass deflection was a clinic in how to defend from behind the receiver. |

I happen to know the Tigers' orthopedic surgeon through a family connection. I'll see if I can't get some secondhand info for you guys.

Here's something else that I think is coming to light... Yost wasn't just a bad OC, he was a bad QB coach, too. Look how little Brad Smith developed under his watch (the mechanical issues never got any better, and it hurt his throwing ability a lot). Chase Daniel was a finished product when he got him. Blaine Gabbert never improved. And Franklin last year... even without the injuries, his mechanics were a mess, especially the flat-footed spots. And now look at how much Franklin improved this year under Andy Hill. It's not just his health through the first 5 games. His mechanics are much better, he's much more decisive, and he was much more accurate (and had more zip on the ball) as a result.

It makes me wonder what Yost was, other than a dingleberry and potential asset in recruiting, because he was a terrible ****ing football coach.

Of course, if the read was wrong, it left the QB completely unprepared to make a quick adjustment/change. Yost was a ballwasher. Did whatever Pinkel wanted. I think it's hilarious a guy who played WR in college and is a grinder/worker type coach (rather than a flashy guru type) has made Yost look like shit as a QB coach.

Disappointed to see Franklin get hurt again (man is he brittle or what), but I am excited to see what Mauk can do.
At the very least, we will have a much better expectation of what this team will look like for the next season or two. Mauk will likely be the starting QB for the next couple years unless he is worse than Berkstresser. Hopefully we can beat UK and UT without Franklin (UK is almost as bad as kansas). If we can find a way to get at least one win against Florida, SC, Ole Piss, and A&M, then we will get to 9 wins, which I would be damn happy about. 9-3 in the SEC gets you to a pretty sweet bowl game and top 25 final ranking. |

Don't forget Henson's skills as a pimp, evidenced by his time at OSU.
