He’s a hard running son of a gun. Lots of weapons in the Mizzou backfield. Now let’s get the O-line pulling its weight.

Yeah, the blind side tackle wasn't ready. Or good? I'm not sure which.Whatashame wrote: ↑29 Aug 2025 13:00 pm He’s a hard running son of a gun. Lots of weapons in the Mizzou backfield. Now let’s get the O-line pulling its weight.

Re: Could Hardy be another James Wilder?
Green, I thought, was supposed to be our best O-lineman. He did seem to struggle with taking care of his responsibilities. Maybe just some first game jitters but Mizzou has to limit those blind side hits. QBs won’t survive many of those types of hits.Red Bird Classic wrote: ↑29 Aug 2025 13:12 pmYeah, the blind side tackle wasn't ready. Or good?

I sure hope Horn is just a little bruised and nothing serious. Crazy he comes in for one play and sustains a serious injury.

Yeah. Hope Horn can come back next week or in two weeks. The way Pribula runs, It's very possible we'll need him sooner or later.Whatashame wrote: ↑29 Aug 2025 13:18 pmGreen, I thought, was supposed to be our best O-lineman.

Re: Could Hardy be another James Wilder?
The one good thing RBC is our number three QB is Matt Zoellers. Getting him as many reps as possible isn’t the worst thing. I think Zoellers Is going to be a good one.Red Bird Classic wrote: ↑29 Aug 2025 13:23 pmYeah. Hope Horn can come back next week or in two weeks.

It's the best QB room we've had, at least under coach Drink.Whatashame wrote: ↑29 Aug 2025 13:29 pmThe one good thing RBC is our number three QB is Matt Zoellers.

Just keep hoping, say your prayers, eat your vegetables pay attention in school and maybe someday all of your dreams for Mizzou football will come trueRed Bird Classic wrote: ↑29 Aug 2025 13:23 pm Yeah.

He’s Mizzou’s best guard playing tackle.Whatashame wrote: ↑29 Aug 2025 13:18 pmGreen, I thought, was supposed to be our best O-lineman.

Re: Could Hardy be another James Wilder?
If I squint hard enough, there were a few runs he had that reminded of a young Emmitt Smith as a Gator. Nothing too fancy, just hard yds and minimum wasted effort.Whatashame wrote: ↑29 Aug 2025 13:00 pm He’s a hard running son of a gun. Lots of weapons in the Mizzou backfield.

It is hard to imagine anyone being another James Wilder. He was huge, strong, and only had one gear.
Hardy's acceleration and shiftyness reminds me more of Henry Josey!
