Looking To Saturday, How Do We Match Up With Missouri?

[PGDocBama]

If we play a good game, I think we beat them by 2 scores at least. They have an above average offense and ok defense. I'll give em that. Our defense is improving though. Ty is the best QB in the SEC. They haven't played anyone and haven't been tested. If we're able to run the ball close to what we did against Vandy, we'll win it going away. I think we win it 34-17 or so.

Hope it gets better for you.

I have a coworker that prefers the fall hikes. She cannot wrap her head around how I did it all summer.

She was 2 hours behind me last Saturday and missed all the excitement I had. I am thinking East Palisades Saturday and drive up to Ravens Cliff Sunday.

I’m a history nut, particularly revolutionary and civil war. My favorite thing is hikes at military parks, usually with a park guide or a historian buddy of mine. This year it was going to be Vicksburg. I’ve done Shiloh on numerous occasions, Chickamauga , Gettysburg, Kennsaw Mointain, Fort Donelson, Antietam among others. Most times these hikes are “off the beaten path” where most don’t go and anywhere from 6 to 14 miles in a day.

Won’t happen this fall. Was told I have a couple of herniations and stenosis at L4-5 and L5-S1. Luckily they can use a minimally invasive approach which should shorten recovery time.

Now back to our regularly scheduled “review of the matchup with Missouri”

I think Missouri is on par with Vandy. Very similar schedule so far with similar results. I don't think we will have an issue moving the ball between the 20s, but we have got to do a better job in the redzone than we have the last two games. I think that will be what makes or breaks us for this game.

The continued improvement of the running should/hopefully will solve this. When we get down at the 10 yard line and in, we've got to be able to run the ball.

Eli called it the 'Utah Shovel' pass!

I remember thinking it was a 'shuffle' pass as a kid.

So now I am picturing the Superbowl Shuffle and wondering why they didn't run this play with The Fridge.

"Whoopie!" as well

That is what Coach Bryant called it.

I sincerely hope we come ready to play and win by at least 17.
Making the trip with my daughter and will not hear the end of it from my Missouri friends and my wife's family if we lose.
And, it will be a LLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG drive back if we lose.

I just KNEW that it went by another name!! I remembered Coach Bryant calling it something and I thought it was the Whoopie!

 

[UAH]

I just KNEW that it went by another name!! I remembered Coach Bryant calling it something and I thought it was the Whoopie!

You are right. The QB would yell Whoopie! when he tossed the ball to tell lineman to block downfield. I believe it was the Utah pass prior to that even 1950s - 1960's football.

How are they on the defensive line? Do they have anyone that can take a game over? That’s my biggest concern with this game…while we have certainly seen improvements on the o line the last few weeks, I still remember those few games over the last couple of years where we let a defensive line just blow us up to the point the offense couldn’t move the ball at all. That’s my main concern.
