I suggest Beck donate part of his salary to Orlando and part to a Charity of Dickson's choice for keeping him employed. How bad could this year have been if we didn't have a punter who was nails this year and a D that put the offense in as good a position as possible week in and week out?
 
Check this out. RS OL Sam Cosmi wrote a letter to the paper that got published, on whether Malik is NFL ready.

If coach is smart he would start Buechele and use Ellinger in short yardage/goalline packages. Unfortunately coach hasn't demonstrated that he is very smart to date. Ugh!
 
If coach was smart, he would put a QB (even if it is Heard or Hager) under center when he needs a yard, rather than snapping the ball 5-6 yards deep behind a line that can't sustain a block

If coach is smart, he will read Hornfans and change his offense to what Hornfans' posters want.

If coach was reaaaallllyy smart, he would run the fumblerooskie play at least 3 times per half. No one would expect that.
 
Coaching is easy if you listen to the right posters. Coach should make Beck read every thread on Hornfans - even West Mall!
 
Do you even know where the "fumblerooskie" came from or the fact that rules were changed to prevent it?

Do you know what two State Championships were won because of that play?
 
I did not know about the origin of the play or the rule change.

My high school plays 6-man football. A majority of the HS games I watch are 6-man. So I do not know who won 2 SCs.

I was making fun of ridiculous posters by being ridiculous. I don't really advise Hermann to run 3 fumblerooskies per half. Two would be about right.

Can one of you degenerates explain what - and + means in gambling? Mizzou is favored to win, correct?

The - means that team is favored by that many points. You can look at it as subtracting that amount from final score. The + is the dog. Whichever way you want to do it, subtract from the final score of favorite or add that amount to the dog. Not both.
 
I've watched most of the plays for Mizzou's last 5 games, and I come out of the experience fairly convinced that they have multiple paths to beat us. They remind me of Iowa State (the new and improved version, not the one we beat) in that they have the talent at the skill positions to switch schemes around to whatever the opponent is giving them.

They are really good at controlling the ball. When they need a 7-minute drive, they figure out a way to do it. The final drive against Arkansas was a thing of beauty.

Lock would probably be about the 4th best QB we'll play this year. He's efficient even though it seems like he completes a mediocre percentage of his passes... mostly from bad routes or hands on occasion. Even though they got beat by UGA, they still managed to embarrass their pass defense in the first half of that game.

The RB Witter has really come on strong even though he wasn't featured earlier in the season. His numbers will fool you into thinking he's a 2nd option, but he's been their primary guy during the win streak.

People look at their defense for affirmation that it should be easy to score on them, but I said the same thing about Texas Tech. And we won't have Williams for the bowl game. Mizzou was very "bend but don't break" with lots of freshmen playing all season. If we're going to take advantage of their defense, it would have to be through the air with lots of 4-wide sets and using the RBs in the pass game. Which means you can't start Ehlinger. The more he plays, the more likely Mizzou's poor turnover differential gets better in the bowl.

Here are some potential game scenarios:

1. Mizzou relies on Lock instead of the backs. He passes for 300-ish yards and 4 scores, maybe with a turnover here or there. Mizzou wins 35-20.

2. Mizzou relies on the backs instead of Lock. They run for 220 yards and 3 scores with fewer turnovers. Mizzou wins 27-13. I think this is more likely than the first scenario considering running the ball takes less timing and scheme than passing it.

3. Texas uses short-to-mid-range passing game to keep Mizzou off the field. Buechele throws like 50 times and limits turnovers. Becker gives us good field position to force Mizzou into long, nonproductive drives with missed FGs or missed 4th down conversions. We win like 24-17.

They tend to complete a large number of long ones, so the lower percentage of completions may a result of attempting more difficult passes more often than most teams do.
