I do agree we should win 8. That has actually been a topic of conversation the past couple of weeks because Vegas has our O/U at 6.5 which just seems a bit low. They absolutely have the ability to go over but, if they don’t get some things cleaned up the under may not be be out of the realm of possibilities. Regardless, my initial point stands: today’s game was more about how bad Mizzou is than how good KSU is. And I’m not saying that to be an ass (well, maybe a bit of the conference turmoil MU started) but, as an acknowledgment of how mediocre the Cats played and still dominated the entire game.

opportunistic defense, good special teams and a running game can work in college football

Defensively though, they were elite (aside from the opening drive where they were way too overhyped). Missouri didn't have a chance especially when the front 6 was causing so much havoc on them. And they did just defeat an SEC team with ease, that made a bowl last season, while not coming close to playing their best football, IMHO.

It's not just the loss, it's the way they looked while losing. That team was completely unprepared to play today. That's on Drink. That was the most incoherent offensive game "plan" I've ever seen. Seemed like a team coached by someone who had absolutely no experience designing a game plan or leading college athletes. Drink looks like he has no business being a college coach - let alone an SEC coach.
Takes a lot to embarrass a Mizzou fan - trust me, I've been one since about 5 yrs old - but that was embarrassingly bad. Just a pathetic job by everyone on the coaching staff except maybe for the DC for a bit in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. Completely pathetic. Not sure how it turns around unless you bring in an OC and make Drink just a figurehead who recruits and sells the program. |

I think we know why Drink was hitting the transfer portal for QB's hard, now. |

I’m not trying to be all negative, I’m just seeing things that are making me uncomfortable. And some discipline on the offsides issues can still be instilled. I’m just sharing my thoughts on the game as it was being played. Martinez actually looked fairly sharp for the first half the game. Some drops and the rain seemed to cause him to struggle some later on. But if they can his confidence up and learn how to work around his weaknesses he can be a perfectly serviceable starter for us.

I know you weren't being negative, and I get that. There are some concerns that I have too as well when it comes to the offense side. Also, another thing that do concern me is the kicker situation. As for Martinez, he has done what I expected him to do so far up to this point. Got no complaints. I'm more annoyed about the fact that our offense got disrupted by that stupid lighting delay and it messed up the flow, and our offensive coordinator not recognizing that Missouri's defense was getting gashed on the edges. Either way, I'm going to enjoy this win today. And as for Missouri, you'll probably need a new coach. Good recruiter (a little shady), but not SEC (or P5 for that matter) HC material, IMHO.

A marginally competent QB hits Burden for two TDs today.

I was happy for the win, but I’m equally concerned with the ineptitude of our QB and pass game in general.

Both of DJs nuts were right about the offensive line. I wasn’t wrong. I just wasn’t right

I just wanted KU to hang in there for a half. They’ve done that, so I’m happy with however this ends.
