The officiating was a little rough. I thought we were screwed a little before half and on Proctors run and no face mask call
One problem I have noticed is players not trying to tackle, but trying to strip the ball out. It isn't just us, it is across college footballOne of our major issues on D is that we just can not tackle. Hit, wrap, takedown. A fundamental football skill that seems to be scarce.
That was mess. We all know that you can’t give up chunk plays and it is an absolute must to tackle them inbounds and make them use up their TO’s. They scored with over a minute left and had ALL OF THEIR TIMEOUTS left.On the fourth quarter TD drive after we went up by 10, did we go into a prevent type coverage in the secondary?
If we get off the field there this win would have been alot less stressful the last 2 minutes.
Dirty teamMizzou is a tough team. Tip hat. Happy to defeat them.
Jam had 85 yards for the day and before the injury would have had over 100 yards in b2b games. Hardy had 52! The OL pass protection was average today, but Ty held on to the ball too long again.We need better pass protection. But to be fair, Mizzou does have a very good DL. It's why they're #1 in rush defense.
I didn't like the whole sequence of how they handled it.That was mess. We all know that you can’t give up chunk plays and it is an absolute must to tackle them inbounds and make them use up their TO’s. They scored with over a minute left and ALL OF THEIR TIMEOUTS.
That is inexcusable.
He didn't trust his checkdowns again.Jam had 85 yards for the day and before the injury would have had over 100 yards in b2b games. Hardy had 52! The OL pass protection was average today, but Ty held on to the ball too long again.
agreed. Jam was on his way to a 100-yard game.I’d like to see some RPO/QB option as we near the red zone. I think we’d be deadly with that. We got away from the run too soon. Really gritty win against a solid team on their turf.
or they're just average and Bama made them looked worldly in the opener!Well, apparently the only thing they did for the entire offseason was practice to beat BAMA. They did that and now can't handle success.
That and the brutal schedule they’ve played.We need better pass protection. But to be fair, Mizzou does have a very good DL. It's why they're #1 in rush defense.
He did hold it too long long a few times, but man oh man when he fits in that tiniest window it sure is pretty.Jam had 85 yards for the day and before the injury would have had over 100 yards in b2b games. Hardy had 52! The OL pass protection was average today, but Ty held on to the ball too long again.
Thankfully, Tennessee seems to going through a pre-Bama slugfest with Arkansas.I think we played a C+ game today. I think the team is tired and banged up, and that’s a large part of the poor play today. Mizzou was riding the emotion of a home game, they were in the midst of their longest home winning streak in 82 years.
To overcome all of that and win… that’s nothing but a positive. Yet we will not come off this win feeling too good about ourselves. We will improve.
I hope we can get people healthy this next week. I hate what happened with Jam.
That was a problem that got corrected after FSU.He didn't trust his checkdowns again.
regardless of whether it was "crown" to helmet, it was certainly a deliberate hit to the head.I really believe that hit on Miller was close enough to call targeting but it did not look like they even considered it. I mean how does a guy get a concussion if the helmet is not involved.
