GDT: Alabama @ Tigers -- 11 -- ABC

Good game Missouri. Good luck the rest of the year and Roll Tide!

Well, I'm proud of the players...they showed their mettle, they showed they're a team to contend with, they showed they can battle in the trenches, and they showed they have no quit. Just like Cook last year, I will never hate on a QB who goes out on his shield....you'll never hit a home run playing not to lose. Drink is Drink...he gets paid to make decisions...I like his leadership style but his situational play calling leaves a lot to be desired.

WINSTONOLOGY strikes again in a heart breaking loss.....just like I predicted...it's the curse

[Basil Shabazz]

The onside kick was a bad choice

Pribula choked

[DJ Davis]

I wonder how the people who overpaid several hundred bucks per ticket feeling right now

[todd-parker]

Not a win left on the remaining schedule. 5-7 incoming.

[shootsnscores]

Game changed when it was 20-17 and they passed 3 times then ran it on a fake punt and came up short.

Should have ran it down Bama's throats today. View every possession as legitimately 4 downs to run it 10 yards. Then exploit them for huge passes off the playaction.

You got the best run offense in the nation and you stick it in your back pocket for the final drive. Unbelievable

[whowadat]

Moore is soooo bad. RPO QB and you want him in the pocket. Square peg into round hole.

+1000

Yep, Drink does some befuddling stuff. There’s a reason he’s never won a game vs a Top 10 team. It’s not by accident.

[dhsux]

I believe they lost the game in the OC's booth.

They never established the running game.

They never gave Roberts the touches.

Third down empty set backfields on short yardage plays.....just beautiful.

Then on the final drive they could have picked them apart on short passes to get down field but went for it with Pribula running around... looking long.....the same Pribula WHO WAS NOT ON HIS PASSING GAME.

Just a horribly managed game on that side of the ball. They gave this game away.

Missouri has the talent now except at QB. I can see now why Pribula hadn't beaten out Horn into Game 1. Hopefully, he'll improve in the 2nd half of this year.

To make it to 10-2, they'll need to hold serve in the final 2 home games vs. aTm and MSU and go 3-1 on the road vs. Auburn, Vandy, OU and Arky. That's doable, but Pribula and Moore have to be better.

Onward.

watched the second half --- that decision surprised a lot with 3 timeouts

There wasn't time for the run game at that point.

But what they did with their passing game strategy on that "drive" was to throw the game away.

I know, you don't want to believe that Drink has some shortcoming that keeps him from winning a big game....but the buck stops with the head coach, fair criticism or not the proof is in the record...at some point you have to call a spade a spade

[Whatashame]

Another winnable game (upset) away. Pribula just isn’t seasoned enough yet to pick this team up and make a couple of plays. A 3 point loss will be hard to swallow. Lots of mistakes including the gift touchdown to start the game because of the undisciplined penalty on a third and long deep in Alabama territory.

Alabama had a few 4th down conversions where they just kept their composure and made plays. Really the difference in the game. Mizzou just isn’t there yet.

Hard to argue with that take...if you would of told me 'Bama was to hold almost a 2 to 1 time of possession advantage I would thought we would of lost by 20

Turnovers. The INT's.

The undisciplined penalty early you can count that as a turnover as well which led to 'Bama's first score instead of third and 15 which could have led to a short field for the offense with a 7-0 lead and all the momentum. Who knows if that would have led to a another score.

Whatever happened in the booth you can't make those mistakes and beat Alabama.
