Looking To Saturday, How Do We Match Up With Missouri?

[STONECOLDSABAN]

Definitely possible. But I don't think we can say so either way definitively at this point.

For what it’s worth I was more worried about this game than vandy. So I don’t meant to sound flippant. It just seems like every week. It’s “this is the team that should just absolute scare bama” from the talking heads. And then the second bama beats them. They are out to find the next shiny new toy. Almost like they are wish casting. Michigan beats Wisconsin and they are lavished with praise. Alabama smokes Wisconsin and they fall three places in the poll during the bye week.

My one complaint with Grubb so far is his calling unnecessary cutesy trick plays. Such as taking the ball out of our playmaker QB’s hands on 3rd and 5 to run some convoluted wildcat nonsense that loses yards.

I agree, he's gotten cute at times that maybe he shouldn't. However, one thing about those plays is it let's me know the guy is always looking for an edge and isn't afraid to go outside the box. It also lets the opposing defense know they better not get too comfortable. Theres good and bad to it.

In my best Joe Kines voice, if we can stop that inside trap we'll be fine.

Change inside trap to outside zone…. Bingo that’s a goody

I have been listening to some of the "talking heads" on the radio and they think Missouri is going to win this game.

Stop listening to Atlanta and AUBURN radio stations!

For what it’s worth, SP+ (by 2ish) and CFNerds model (10ish) both have Mizzou winning

Ok, if Bama is unfocused, maybe. But Deboer seems to have Bama dialed in for a fight every week. Coaches are doing a good job adjusting during the game. I got no crystal ball but I think Bama absorbs their best shots early and grinds out a solid win.

How many guys on the Mizzou roster were recruited by Bama?

How many guys on the Mizzou roster would be at Bama if offered?

Talent wins in this one.

Bama by 10.

I hear ya.

Modeling isn’t perfect or meant to be. I posted that earlier in the week because some data gives purely football reasons—based on how they have played—to see the teams as being closer than we’d love to believe

I live in Ohio and do not listen to either.
