Pribula availability

[abnerdoubled]

I have to admit, it really sucks going to OU with our QB situation so questionable. I really think we’re a better team, but our OLine and QB are such question marks in the passing game right now I can see OU stacking the box and shutting us down almost completely.

We desperately need one of our QB’s to step up and play great. A little worried about sending Pribula back out against OU’s D line with his ankle coming off serious injury. Sounds like a recipe for 5 sacks and another injury.

you think we are better than OU ?

With Pribula 100% yes I do. Or at a minimum very, very close. Playing in Norman, with a very unclear situation at QB, we’re probably going to struggle to keep it within 2 TD’s. I think we lose by 10-14 points.

Armchair you have watched a different Pribula play than I have. I think we are a 10pt better team with Z

I don’t think Pribula is anywhere near as talented as Zollers. BUT, Zollers is REALLY young and has been thrown to the wolves and hasn’t looked quite ready. Pribula is more mature and more capable at the moment IMO. That said, I would support finishing the season with Zollers and live with the shakiness in hopes it pays dividends next year.

I do think Pribula regressing was probably him being banged up physically and mentally. He’s not really big and running QB’s take a pounding in the SEC.

Doesn't matter. Hardy and Roberts will be running the ball most of the time.

You mean for real?

Like down their throats?

Never too late to start...oh wait...yes it is.

[Mizzoufan443]

We need to slow the game down, get some first downs, maintain time of possession, and keep our defense off the field. A couple well designed pass plays for short yardage would help too,

we haven't won in Norman since 1966 and we are nowhere near the team OU is

Fact: Mizzou hasn’t won in Norman in well over half a century. Of course we haven’t played there in nearly 2 decades. Because of our QB situation, it’ll be tough sledding Saturday, no question.

Fact: OU is 24-12 over the last 3 years including 4 losses to unranked teams. Plus a loss to Mizzou last year when we were again banged up at QB.

Fact: Mizzou is 28-8 over the last 3 years including 0 losses to unranked teams.

OU is 8-2 this year, we’re 7-3. If we somehow get it done Saturday we’ll be dead even this year.

How exactly are we “nowhere near the team OU is”?

[11WSChamps]

OU just went into Tuscaloosa and beat Alabama.

That gives them a pretty good leg up on MU for Saturday's game in Norman.

Having not won there for how many years is immaterial.

Probably the two best defenses in the SEC but OU has a huge advantage at QB and all kinds of momentum.

I too like Zollers future but Saturday is going to be a rough one for the freshman QB and the MU OLine.

Is Pribula at 80% (my generous guess) that much better than Zollars? He played 3/4 of the game at Vandy and put ten points on the board. He won't be running on a bad ankle and he's not much of a passer when healthy. He won't make a difference, let Zollars play.

So, if Mizzou played OU in Columbia and Mizzou’s starting QB was 100%, and OU started a true freshman with 1 start under his belt, what do you think the outcome would be?

I’ll remind you, we beat OU last year with our backup QB and OU had their starter.

I’ve already said in the prediction thread that because of our current situation we’ll probably lose by a couple TD’s, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see us make it close.

[hdhntr148]

key to game obviously is IF MU can get running game going against OU's very tough D. OR if the moron who is tigers OC can do the simple things of using playaction to free up wheel routes, slants and quick passes to get past their stacked upfront D and slowdown the pass rush. Imagine IF Hardy and Roberts were out in flats 5+ yards down field ketchn swing pass and the secondary has to try and tackle them one on one? That's the ticket right there or Brett or Jude releasing off the line against the bulk of defense?

OU's offense struggled against bamas D who are not as good as MU's. Is why they play the game. Go Tigers FB!

are you watching and learning? - this elite defense has us under 80 yds rushing deep into the game!

To answer the subject of the thread, hopefully to any DIII program that will have him.

[mdkieffer]

I'm tired of his shrinking violet act in the pocket. Fleeing the pocket even when no pressure is arriving, and escaping to throwaways. You can't have a quarterback operating like that. He led the offense to 3 points against Vanderbilt in more than a half before he got hurt.

Looks like instead of throwing to a predetermined spot as the play calls, he looks around and hesitates....

Our elite defense held them to less total yards than we had. And if not for 1 really huge play it wouldn’t have been close in total yards.

OU isn’t that much better this year. We were better last year. I’m not sure why you think we’re nowhere the team they are. If you go back 15-20 years yeah they were dominant. Thats old news.
