Pribula lowest yard per attempt in SEC
Kid simply doesn’t have the ability to throw downfield. He had Johnson wide open many times and just doesn’t look past the first option. He will do well against bad teams, but will struggle against SEC type talent.

Yep. We’ve seen the best of Beau. And it’s been trending this way for a couple weeks. His completion rate is courtesy of 5 yd passes. He has overthrown guys regularly on anything outside of that.

Maybe it’s not the QB. Maybe it’s the system.
Re: Pribula lowest yard per attempt in SEC
Lol...right..at what point do we hold Drink accountable for either recruiting a particular type of QB to operate his dink and dunk offense...or shoving square pegs into round holes. This is the exact same criticism Cook received week in and week out....why recruit a down field thrower, or criticize his lack of ability, if your offense is based around the dink and dunk ball control game plan. Which by the way did not work at all against 'Bama who had a 2 to 1 time of possession advantage.Mizzoufan443 wrote: ↑11 Oct 2025 15:46 pmMaybe it’s not the QB. Maybe it’s the system.
We had what...three seasons to surmise that Cook wasn't an accurate downfield thrower....and we labeled him as not Championship caliber. We've had 5 seasons to judge Drink, the guy sporting an overall 43-25 record (23-21 SEC) and we give him the benefit of the doubt with some clamoring over and over we need a better QB. We've had 6 games to judge Pribula and some are labeling him as not ready for prime time.....I think Pribula has shown a lot of moxie, a warriors heart, and above average passing/running skills....I think there are lots of NCAA football teams who would like to have Beau Pribula under center.
Re: Pribula lowest yard per attempt in SEC
Yup. An RPO QB can beat AL. Would like to know why MU gave up on the run. Also, why not 2 TE plays? However, I believe Birmingham would have stepped in if MU went up in Q4. Tossing Burks for what was just a hard solid tackle was a huge help to AL. The message sent was clear - for a non 'Blue Blood' to beat AL, gonna have to beat the league office. Very tough to do.whowadat wrote: ↑11 Oct 2025 16:04 pmLol...right..at what point do we hold Drink accountable for either recruiting a particular type of QB to operate his dink and dunk offense...or shoving square pegs into round holes.

Re: Pribula lowest yard per attempt in SEC
Wow.
I didn't realize 5-star QB's like Zollers would want to play for "dink and dunk".
You don't recruit elite type talent at QB when you're starting a program it took a sustained level of success to get him here.
Why would a premier QB talent in the country come to MU under a first ever head coach in the SEC?
These things take time.

That was his MO coming out of high school was it not?
Re: Pribula lowest yard per attempt in SEC
I think it was the game plan or maybe it was that Cayden green wasn't really healthy so our run game stagnated after 'Bama realized that we weren't going to run left. I also don't know what's happened to Kevin Coleman. He's been nowhere to be found the last couple games. I'm not sure why they weren't able to scheme better WR routes to get receivers open but Beau could hit them when they were open. It was a frustrating day especially when the game was there to be taken.Mizzoufan443 wrote: ↑11 Oct 2025 15:46 pmMaybe it’s not the QB. Maybe it’s the system.

Bo's passes were really sailing high today. I blame the offense on the bye week. The timing was off. I think he's been a pretty good passer.

Re: Pribula lowest yard per attempt in SEC
I just think it’s the system Drink wants to run in conference games. He wastes a lot of talent at the wideout positions by basically neutering them. He did it with Burden at times last year. I also couldn’t believe he didn’t use any screens with the Bama defense attacking like it was.Mizzoufan443 wrote: ↑11 Oct 2025 15:46 pmMaybe it’s not the QB. Maybe it’s the system.
