Josh Heupel = Gus Malzahn 2.0

In full seasons, every one of Heupel's offenses has been better than every one of Malzahn's.

Gus isn’t even a brilliant offensive mind, and this comparison is just absolutely false. Try again.

Malzahn was underrated as a recruiter and overrated as an "offensive mind". Defense carried a lot of his teams. I do think Malzahn was a good coach, but he wasn't always great with player development.

If anything, Heupel reminds me more of Spurrier. Great offensive mind, great at player development, good but not great recruiter.

I know people are going to say that's a stretch, but is it? When Spurrier dominated the SEC at Florida, that was an easier time to "outcoach" and win without having elite talent. Now it's much tougher. Even Spurrier last few years at Florida were tougher; he was 27-9 his last 3 seasons, which is great, but nowhere near his 6-year run from '93-98. And he was good at South Carolina, with three 11-2 seasons, but he was never in the hunt for a national title and had a lot of 7- and 8- win seasons.

If I had to estimate where Heupel ends up, it's somewhere between Florida Spurrier and South Carolina Spurrier.

The Mizzou loss sucks a lot, but we were already playing "thin" at several positions and that game was an injury-fest if I ever saw one.

Milton wasn’t the problem last night, the problem was we couldn’t stop a D2 running back and that the refs WILL NOT call holding on opposing teams while they pepper us with them all game long. Milton isn’t going to win us a Championship that’s pretty clear, but he didn’t cost us the game last night, the refs and our defense did

Agree with this, other than the "D2 running back" comment. Schrader ran for 112 yards the week before in Athens and 114 yards vs LSU. He's putting up great yards against great defenses.

We did not play great on D, but you've got to give him credit: he played extremely well and he's played at a high-level most of the season.
