Broncoesque cheap shot

Abbington looks slow as hell.

Wtf is with these cushions?

Kenya Dennis has not been very impressive year.

When lock gets a TD does he now become starter :)

Bad throw

Damn. Juuust underthrew him, and also didn't get enough air under it.

Yes, he does.

UConn has a good team.

C'mon Lock...put some juice on it.

What the **** was that? :facepalm:

It was likely more enjoyable watching that incomplete pass than it would have been watching baggett miss a fg

That's just a dumb call.

No, no they don't. Even if Mizzou wins, they should drop out of the rankings.

Going to **** around and lose this.

Pretty good defense, below average team

.

That's what the Chiefs should have done at the end of the game

How did the QB make the tackle?


Jesus, that was badass.

Took out the blocker and runner with one hit. :eek:

This team is not winning the East this year.

...and the Huskies go full ku

They came out of the closet?

I've seen nothing but ugly football this year. Good defense, but ugly football.

Mizzou: Doesn't do it's job. Still does it's job.

This team will be lucky to win another game.

:facepalm:

Mauk is a db

There isn't an answer to the offensive woes because they are systemic.

AJ Ricker is terrible at his job and should be fired (as the decrease in OL play for two years in a row despite returning five seniors with starting experience is clearly a testament to)

Mauk can't throw the ball between the hash marks or to the sidelines, which means that the only passing plays the offense can run are really running plays.

The backs lack vision, speed, and power. Witter may have some quickness, but he routinely picked the wrong hole today.

The WRs can't get open against bad competition and can't catch when they do.

It's just a historically bad offense and there's a good chance they set some school records for ineptitude, which is incredibly unfortunate, because this is an excellent defense, probably one of the top 10 in the country.

Army (a bottom five DI team) and Villanova (a I-AA team) put up more points on UConn than Missouri did.

It's going to get really ****ing ugly in SEC play. The only chance this team has to win games in conference is to force a shitload of turnovers.

Agree with everything here. Have no idea what Ricker is doing.

Hahaha

I know that you are much more plugged in than I am, as are guys with PM subscriptions. Ricker strikes me as a panic hire because of the unusual timing of Walker's retirement. Walker always seemed to get a lot out of marginally talented kids. Boehm was better as a Sophomore than he has been the last two years, and the OL as a whole looks slow and weak.

I have no idea why Walker retired, but it always struck me as odd.

I think they saw Ricker as an up-and-comer. However, everything he has tried to "fix" has been a disaster.

I think we are heading for a real kick in the butt next week at Kentucky.

They need to just throw Lock in there as starter and live through his growing pains. Pinkel won't do it, but at this point it's the right move. Mauk has played like hot garbage through the three warmup games. He's going to get his shit eaten up against the SEC.

SEC won't be fun this year.

I was thinking the same thing.

No play makers on offense.

We won. Woot... I did watch, but was doing carpet scrubbing, so I wasn't all up in here...

Many examples of "lesser" teams playing well against the Power 5. Ohio State won by 7 today.

That said, Mizzou needs an offense like yesterday.

Lock is certainly the better passer, I just don't think these receivers right now would do him any favors.

This offense is a shitbarn and would prefer they don't ruin him. For everyone that bitches about thr Chiefs line, they ahould watch MU play.

Pass protection was outstanding today. No sacks, and Mauk had all day to stand in the pocket and not throw the ball.

I wouldn't call it outstanding.

Mauk ran a lot and UConn also rushed only 3 a significant amount of time.

Next week's gonna be a battle of 2 good defenses and 2 shitty excuses for offenses.

Yeah....but we played like crap and should have lost in reality. Mauk looked lost, playing with Zero confidence in himself, much less having any confidence in his receivers. Abbington looked lost.....Witter can't seem to pick the right hole to run thru and our best offensive play of the day was a lumbering #3 RB going 50+ yards.

I agree with what the announcers were talking about all day.....our DB's seemed to be playing 10 or more yards off the receivers. If we do that in conference play teams will just drive down the field doing nothing but killing us with short passes.

I think the lack of any running game is a big factor for the offenses shitty play. Hopefully once Hansbrough gets healthy things might improve.

Abbington couldn't find the right hole with a map.

Guys, I don't think you realize how shitty next week is going to be to watch.

It's legit going to be like Mizzou playing Mizzou next week, except Towles isn't as good of a runner.

Next week..

Except we will be playing at Commonwealth Stadium....

And where Towles isn't a good runner, he does have the ability to pass.

While Mauk is a good runner, he can't pass for crap anymore. I would be less concerned if they let Lock play and we took our chances with him.

Towles is a ****ing piece of shit. Mother ****er got sacked 6 times today.

Though, he should have had a passing TD. WR dropped it in the end zone. Next play, he throws a semi-high pass(still should have been caught) and it's returned to the UK 19 for an INT.

The defense is spectacular for UK. Offense hasn't scored a TD in 6 quarters.

Polls out yet?

Ricker has got to go.

Walker retired because he's super rich (from personal investments) and was a shitty recruiter who didn't want to work harder in a job he didn't need.

It was something that was rumored for a few years before it actually happened. Basically, he's enjoying his wealth and his grandkids.

Never been a big Mauk fan. I think the Lock era should have started this year.

Isn't Mauk still only a junior? I am terrified next season that Gary Pinkel won't have the balls to sit Mauk for Lock and will play him simply because he's a senior.

I agree with predictions that Saturday could be a snooze fest (unless you're enthralled by good defense matching up against bad offense).

I've watched about a 5 quarters of Kentucky so far this year. They look to be a carbon copy of Missouri - good defense (though I think Missouri's is better, as I think Missouri's LB and DB corps are superior, and Charles Harris is a better pass rusher than anyone Kentucky has) and highly inconsistent and not good offenses.

chiefus-
Lock wouldn't be playing this year if Pinkel wasn't looking at the 2016 QB spot as an open competition. If they were rolling with Mauk, no matter what, Lock would be sitting and redshirting, instead of getting real game action.

I've heard enough from people close to the program (reporters, boosters) to be convinced this is the case.

Lock will have every chance to win the job next spring, and Mauk will have to take major steps to hold him off (it was really close in fall camp, and if Lock had enrolled in the spring and played spring football, he might have won the job THIS year). Hell, at this rate, Lock may be starting/playing before this season is over.

Lock still getting a possession in a three-point game this past Saturday, late in the 4th quarter, says that pretty clearly, IMO.

Exactly. Mizzou's defense is more talented, but UK's defense is still really good.

I can see this game going either way. It depends how both Mauk and Towles play. UK's O hasn't scored a TD in 6 quarters.

Keep in mind that Hansbrough should be good to go on Saturday.

A few Maukerceptions that set them up with really short fields could be just the elixir they need.

So far this year, Missouri's defense has allowed 29 points. 16 came after Maukerceptions set the opposing offense up inside its own 30 (7 more came after a Lock pick gave Arkansas State the ball at the 40 or so).

Maukerception: An interception, in football, of a thrown forward pass, typically thrown off-balance, into a completely guarded area of the field; an interception after a completely indefensible decision to throw the ball.

He shouldn't have seen the field against Arky State, but I digress...

Mizzou's game vs South Carolina on October 3rd has been set for an 11 a.m. kickoff on the SEC Network.

Turnovers will decide the Mizzou vs UK game.

Saw this on PowerMizzou and thought I'd share here. Offensive ineptitude:

Any CP faithful going to Lexington today?

I wanted to go, but I've got to be at a wedding today.

At least you have your priorities straight.

I will tell you that few will go to Lexington, even though it really isn't that much of a drive, especially for the STL area fans.

When I lived there I extended the offer to anyone who was coming to stop by or, for the few I trust on here, the offer of a room for the night.

No one accepted.

Well it's for the better. This happened to be the weekend before I have assignments due in all of my grad classes.

Jerseys looking good on both sides tonight.

Nice to see our young recievers staying active during that type of play...good drive.

Great drive by the offense. Mauk made some nice passes, Hansbrough with extra effort to get a first down, O-Line with great blocking on the TD pass especially that blitz pickup.

Great arm tackling, guys.
Posted via Mobile Device

Hunt would have gotten that.
Posted via Mobile Device

Should have sacked up and got the 1 yard

Good punt though

Might want to guard the middle of the field maybe
