#15 Missouri (6-1) vs #10 Vanderbilt (6-1) (3:30PM ET, ESPN)

[TrueOrange]

How can an SEC team have such a lame kicker?

Because the senior starter broke his leg on a kickoff return the first game of the season.
Their current kicker is a walk on who was never supposed to be kicking for them this season.

Missouri should have been ahead by 2 scores - Vandy is very lucky

 

[mackievol]

Missouri in some serious trouble on offense for the rest of the season.

 

[Delmar]

Nice run but the WR was clearly holding. The 6 Blind Mice didn’t see it.

 

[TrueOrange]

Now I see why Dinky Winky doesn’t like to kick FG’s. Yeesh…

Yeah, they’ve learned it from struggles across the season from game 2 onward. Kid was never supposed to be kicking this year either. Senior had a season ending injury on a kickoff during their first game.

They’ve got a soccer team. Surely there’s a better option on campus

I stand corrected, I thought it was an ACL injury.

Yep. 6-1 to 6-6 or 7-5.

Just load the box and make the 9-pass freshman have to throw against you.

 

[Franklin_Vol09]

Never. I'd rather endure a double colonoscopy-root canal.

I don’t mind Vandy. I hate Drink much more. Clark Lea is a fantastic guy.

 

[Carl Pickens]

Nice run but the WR was clearly holding. The 6 Blind Mice didn’t see it.

I wonder if holding calls are down this year from years past. It sure as heck seems like it.
That was a gruesome hold

The refs have screwed Vandy almost all game so far.

 

[TrueOrange]

I stand corrected, I thought it was an ACL injury.

It might have been? I just know it was on a kickoff return.

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

Debatable. At this point, Vanderbilt beating Kentucky, Auburn, and potentially even Texas seems more likely than Missouri beating both Texas A&M AND Oklahoma

I was going with a strong Vandy record helps us at the end when we kick their candy asses. ..

Given that they’re stuck with a freshman walk-on who has clearly been struggling all season, I’m guessing there’s not…or else someone from the soccer team would have already been on the roster as a backup walk-on kicker instead.

 

[mackievol]

Missouri might not score another TD the rest of the year.

Dumb decision to not kick it there and then lose your QB.

 

[TrueOrange]

And honestly 10-2 or 9-3 Vanderbilt does about the same amount for UT either way.

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

OU very well may falter down the stretch. That leaves them and Vandy as possibly the only team with a winning SEC record that we would have beaten (if we win).

 

[TrueOrange]

Missouri might not score another TD the rest of the year.

Doesn’t help that the QB who was supposed to be their backup this year had a lower body injury on his first play in their first game and has been ruled as out indefinitely.

Season ending injuries to the 2nd string QB and the kicker sound like it’s a looming storm cloud always just waiting to turn into an absolute disaster in a season.

 

[JMSqb11]

And honestly 10-2 or 9-3 Vanderbilt does about the same amount for UT either way.

If Vandy is 10-1 when they come to Neyland, they are likely in the top 6 in the CFP STANDINGS.

If I had to guess, they will be ranked ahead of Miami and an undefeated Georgia Tech in the initial rankings if Vandy still has one loss when they come out. So that gets them inside the top 8.

 

[KoachKrab127]

Gotta go for it again???

 

[KoachKrab127]

Finally, it pays off. Can they make an extra point?

 

[mackievol]

OH my

 

[TrueOrange]

Missouri might not score another TD the rest of the year.

Dumb decision to not kick it there and then lose your QB.

Well, I guess they scored one.

 

[mackievol]

drinktwofittys gambled and won that one

 

[TrueOrange]

10 all with 12:40 left in the game.
