1. They are an SEC school, and we can't seem to beat an sec school not named Vandy or KY.
2. It's just a bad matchup. Mizzou plays pretty good D. They held UF to 14 points and are in the top half of the sec in total D. Even more, they are 4th in the sec in pass defense - that spells trouble for our only strength on the entire team, our vertical pass offense. Sheldon Richardson is a beast and will pressure Bray into some bad throws - would'nt shock me if Bray has 2 pics in this game. Also, their offense isn't spectacular, but with our D on the field, I look for guys like Franklin and DGB to run like Usain Bolt in the open field. We will get gashed repeatedly and we won't be able to match them point for point.

Final prediction: 34-21 Mizzou

Why would we lose to Mizzou? Because they are in the SEC, and Dooley isn't good at those games.

all you had to do is mention our defense and how Franklin will probably continue the trend of having a career day on them...... game, set, match

1) Talent wise is roughly equal.
2) We have the home field but the stands will be somewhat empty.
3) Missouri will win the game because they have better coaching.

You may be right but i do think the score will be a lot closer than your prediction. :ermm:

I think you're going a little overboard. Our offense has been horrible. Our defense has kept us close, except for Bama and SC. But, from all I have read, Franklin is pissed at his performance in the swamp. With our O-line playing well against FL, I think they will show up in the same mood. All in all, if I were a betting man, I wouldnt touch this game. We could play like sh^t, or play very well. I think we are in the same boat as yall. Don't know WTF to expect. Given all that, its at UT's place, so I would say that lends favor to UT. But I will be there no matter. Here's to a good game. :peace2:

You know, 5* drivel is what that is.

Tennessee scored 35 points on the road against a better defense than Missouri's. Why do you predict only 21 points? Yes, it really is 5* drivel.

UF's offense isn't that good this year. The only stat they rank fairly high in is rushing. Their passing o is dead last in the SEC. It just so happens that UT's D tends to create a new record setting performance with each passing or rushing....or scoring week.

I think this will be an exciting game as most have been this year. If nothing else, the guys on O will continue to try and pad stats.

You're wrong about the talent being equal...Tennessee has alot more talent than Mizzou, especially when you factor in all of their injuries...That being said, we will still lose because Dooley will make Pinkell look like Vince Lombardi, and our defense will make James Franklin look like Joe Montana.

I would not say talent is about equal. Not even close to be honest. If you look at the last 4 recruiting classes for each school, Tennessee has signed 48 players rated 4 stars or higher. Mizzou has signed 11 over the same time period. Lack of coaching does not mean less talent.

I think we will see about 62,000 for the game.

I think our offense will play well enough to win. I am thinking something like 38-27.

Well, don't expect the same atmosphere. Sorry.

What do you mean? turnout? or nicety?. I would assume it wouldnt be as bad, hatred wise. Us Mizzou folks are F'n saints compared to UGA fans. We don't fricking bark and spit at opposing teams like those leg humpers do. It should be a good atmosphere, looking forward to it. (Not looking forward to those tiny a$$ seats yall got though.)

Well-stated. It's a helluva note when the opposing fans sound more reasonable than our own. :dry:

Tiny ass seats shouldn't be a problem this week. Lots of empty seats I hate to say.
