Just 100 yards!!!!

Post by rezero »

That is what Hardy needs to jump into the lead and potentially become the first Missouri player to ever lead the country in rushing. If he can get 100yds the only person who could reasonably catch him appears to be Lacy at Ole Miss, but it will take Ole Miss winning against Georgia and putting 100+ on Ohio State/Miami.

Let do it!

Note: Brad Smith finished 12th in 2003 with 1406 yards (108yds/game) but was second in Y/A at 6.6 that year.

well Lacey is hurt and is doubtful for GA game and they have strong run d anyway. He isn't expected to play.

BTW saw something about VA's run defense isn't that good so Hardy should have a field day.

Their run defense is ranked high at 37th in the country but have only played 4 good run teams all year so it is very misleading. They have been gashed by running QBs as well, so should be interesting.

Interesting speculation from an outsider.....says he'd be surprised if Lindsey is in the booth for the game today:

He said this five days ago.

It's a strong, strong probability Drink and Co have a system in place with the people available.

It's ridiculous to fret over the very, slight possibility that it hasn't.

10 yards short of a tie and 11 short of the outright lead. Has to be tough for Hardy. No idea why Drink did not give him the ball once in the second half until 4 minutes left in the game. Seriously your all American player and he doesn’t get one carry for the first 20 minutes of the second half. There was what looked like a heated exchange on the side line with Hardy and some players with about 2 minutes left when they took him out on the 3rd and 1 play that they ran Zoellers.

Drink has no discipline. He did some dumb, numbingly dumb, things tonight.

I saw the same thing, you could tell Hardy was upset.Then you call for the QB to carry the ball. I thought Moore was gone, the play calling sucked again.

Someone better get a big check ready or Hardy will walk. Drink took away an honor that would have been with him the rest of his life. Not sure if Drink was intentionally benching Hardy, but to sit him for the first 20 minutes of the second half must have been agonizing. Then when he gets a chance at the end and only needed 10yds, Drink pulls him and runs a QB sweep on 4th and 2.

Hardy already announced he's not going anywhere.

As for not playing for 20 minutes in the second half, part of his deal doesn't include having to play defense.

Let’s hope that is still where he is after that debacle yesterday. As far as that 20 minutes, we had the ball for three series and he never seen the ball once in any of those. Drink’s arrogance and lack of understanding of the offensive side of a football game cost Hardy the lifetime recognition of leading all college football in rushing.
