Well, it would appear by all indications this year anyway (their game play, their record) that Missouri should be a somewhat easy win, but not so fast. I can't say I feel great about it and I won't until that clock hits zero and we win. Missouri is undefeated against TN since they joined the SEC in 2012. I hope Butch and company are going to take this matchup very seriously and prepare in depth. I hope everyone is on their A game and we bring it. A win against Missouri added to the win against Georgia would be so uplifting to the fans and to the program. If we can turn another corner with this Team 119 it would be awesome.

What do you guys think?

I think if we come out in stormtroopers the whole state will be deemed racist.

Missouri has a very very good DL, but thats about all they have going for them. If our OL doesn't play well, we may be in for a low scoring and close game. Regardless, we should out talent them and win.

20-10 Vols

Their D-line scares me. Good D-lines are Kryptonite to our offense. DeButch has a tendacy to try to make Dobbs into a pocket passer against teams that can handle our rushing attack, and that's what makes me nervous.

That and the fact that Hansborough can move the chains.

In light of all of the emotion surrounding the Mizzou program, nothing will surprise. They could come out and play their very best game of the year or be totally checked out. It's just too hard to say.

I will say that Pinkel is an experienced and very capable coach. When it comes to state of mind of the team, that helps.

Keep'm healthy! I would hope the first stringers don't get on the field against NT. Maybe first series - that's it, imo.

Dobbs has to use his legs.. It will be a ugly low scoring game.. I wouldn't put it in the automatic win column. They have a stout dline and we've yet to beat them. So i hope we go there ready to grind them into the dirt. Their whiny pansy azzes deserve it.

Mizzo will come out and play hard for an upset. I don't see any difference between this game and the USCe game. We win, but it will be a battle. Same with Candy. No easy games in the SEC.

SJT lives up that way and follows their program somewhat. He can deliver some really good insight on this game. I don't think he is concerned about a UT victory.

Their only hope is to pick off Dobbs or force fumbles deep in their own territory. Their offense is only 5 spots better (113th) than North Texas's according to adjusted rankings (and Vandy's is even worse at 120th).

Interestingly, their adjusted defense is only 22nd in the nation compared to Vandy's 7th.

Bama ranks #1, OU ranks #2, UF ranks #11, and Georgia ranks #27.

UT should win comfortably. Mizzou's O is still struggling in every position group. Even at RB, Hansborough hasn't been healthy all year. MSU exposed weaknesses in MU's D and Dobbs is enough like Dak to exploit them... AND he has a better OL and supporting cast around him.

If we lose, all hell will break loose.

If we win a close game, all hell will break loose.

If we beat the dog crap out of them, it was only because they are a horrible team.

Let's just face the facts. Our fanbase is unliftable.

That's what I think Coug. :sad:

I think this post needs to be stickied some how. It is absolutely perfect.

We win if we can get healthy and not get anyone injured against North Texas.

I think that Missouri at their place at night in the late season is a toss-up game. 0-3 all time against the Tigers.

One game at a game. Got to beat North Texas first. They pounded us last time we played.
