I went to the Mizzou/Vandy game yesterday. If Mizzou marches up and down the field in the first quarter that will say something. We all know State's D has let teams do it all season.

Mizzou hasn't scored a TD in over 8 quarters.

Against Vandy they got a first down on their opening drive....then did not have another first down until just over 3 minutes left in the 3rd qtr. I am not joking. They didn't cross mid-field until shortly after on a fake punt late in the 3rd qtr. When Mizzou finally got their second 1st down late in the 3rd quarter, their fans stood up and cheered for a while...was pretty funny.


I was worried about the Mizzou game several weeks back...not by their play but by ours and also being a road game on a Thursday night. But after yesterday and seeing a real complete game by the Dogs I feel much better. There's no reason we shouldn't be 7-2 in November getting ready to host Alabama. Dak's last shot against the Tide.

With the missed FG loss against LSU and our poor performance vs TXA&M, as a Bulldog fan it feels good to say we're 7-2 in November even though we may dwell on those two games more than the other games this year. Things could be worse...we could be Auburn. They had the media loving them all pre-season (SEC Champs) and they probably will not make a bowl game.

Just remember, two seasons ago we finished 6-6 and the last two wins were comebacks and OT wins just to make a bowl game. We've come a long way. Don't forget that was just 2013.

Let's enjoy this season and watching perhaps the best Bulldog player in school history.

Hail State.

8 quarters? They haven't scored a TD since October 3rd. That's spans more than 8 quarters, right?

I said OVER 8 qtrs.

I know they didn't score a TD vs Vandy and UGA back to back weeks....so my presumption was over 8qtrs.

I wouldn't be too surprised if we spot them their first touchdown. It seems to be part of Manny's philosophy. It's been working for the most part.

Wouldn't it just be our luck if Mizzou decided to lift Matty Maulk's suspension and let him play against us?

Gary Pinkle has to be thinking this. They need 2 wins for bowl qualification and they have MSU, BYU, Tennessee, and Arkansas left.

It's 13 quarters. Three full games (Florida, Georgia, Vanderbilt) and the fourth quarter of the game before Florida. They're making Croom's offense look like the Fun 'N Gun

Violation of team rules and is suspended indefinitely. Pinkel said Mauk has some personal issues he needs to take care of before he earns a spot on the depth chart. Rob Fischer in Memphis is pretty well connected to Mizzou football and has said several times on the radio that barring some miraculous turnaround, Mauks done.

Their defense has not given up more than 21 in a game this year either...I think we win but I dont think it will be a blowout like a lot of people think. 24-10

I laugh at the "experts" that were on here a few weeks ago saying we would likely lose this game. Some people clearly dont "see" football beyond the play by play results. But you cant tell em that until retrospect hits home.

We will score more than 24. Their defense will wear down as the game goes on. Our fast past is what killed KY.

Mizzou scored 36 points in the month of October.

The flip side of that is their defense has only given up 4 TDs in October - 10 all year (and two of those were the result of drives of 35 and 7 yards).

This will be a good test for MSU's offense heading into the Alabama game.
