lol Mizzou NEVER makes the big plays. Decades of watching this school and every time they can’t deliver in the biggest moments

3rd and 24 collapse. Perfect.
Well...no way I blame the D for this game...its all on Drink and the QB. Had a week off tp get ready and not even 100 yards passing. The Offense wasn't prepared at all.
the overanked tigers do not have what it takes but by being ranked high while beating 5 cream puffs, bama can say they beat a 14th ranked team and vault even higher..

Pribula sucks at passing. One pass more than 5yds downfield. Once again he had Johnson wide open as the CB went for Coleman. He has no field vision.
I don't think he sucks....it's a big game and you know the guy is a competitor. Dink and dunk IS Drink's style....when your HC plays not to lose, it permeates the whole team. Ya think Alabama has been playing not to lose today....heck no, their offense has been pretty creative keeping the D on their heels a bit. Now, ya get a lead, the you've worn down the defense, you run it down MIZZOU's throat....walk out of CoMO with a win....it's a simple recipe for success. Drink has show over the last few years his style will get you to a bowl game, but won't win ya a championship.
Pinkel actually played to win when he finally got him some horses...Drink has better horses and yet the style of play is rather ho hum...open the (bleep) playbook...I'm starting to think the "Book of Eli" is a coloring book...
Pinkel had better QB's.
And its not even close.
He has to have an elite QB to win any coach does.
Until that happens you work with what you have to win and get your program relevant.
Its relevant but not top tier..that's where the QB comes in.
It doesn't matter what offense you run if you're QB isn't top tier.
Hogwash....you can't stick square pegs into round holes and we don't know the gameplan beforehand. We can't possibly know what is being said on the practice field and/or meeting rooms during the week of preparation. To compare QB play during the BIG 12 era verses the SEC doesn't take into account the pressure to win in the SEC is all about. Pinkel went to Texas and recruited a lone star reject in Chase Daniel and learned a high school offense which he implemented...he had nothing to lose as an expected SEC punching bag coming into the league.
Nowadays, there has got to be pressure in the SEC to go to a bowl game and contribute to the honey pot.....this is the BIG time in the modern football era wherein recruiting matter's less than how much money a player can make at your school and beyond in the NFL...not podunk Big 8/12 land during an era of minimal money unless you were Texas. The pressure to win, or NOT TO LOSE, has to be immense for a mid-level SEC team.
But at 5-1, they're exactly where I thought they'd be at this point. But I also didn't expect Pribula and Moore to be this bad in the 1 loss. Not good going into the 2nd half of the schedule with 4 road games and 2 home games.

Right, and that has nothing to do with the MIZZOU QB....all you have to do is compare the two 4th down plays and the situation/field position at the time....one was successful and the other wasn't...had nothing to do with Pribula.
Drink is being outcoached...I suspect he was outcoached before 'Bama ever showed up today

Don't really know what you're babbling on here about.
The discussion I thought had to do with winning, and you can't beat the best without the horses.
How many QB's were NFL drafted under Pinkel?
I can tell you the game plan beforehand in this particular game. Run the ball, be balanced and stop the run. Just like it is every game MU plays under this coach, and without great QB play he's faired pretty well.
I believe Drinkwitz and his 9-million dollar salary understands all the "pressure".
