[u/FSZou]

If the first half goes similarly with Kansas I don't want anyone pulled

[u/WiseComfortable6648]

Mizzou only does half decent this year if we don't have too many major injuries to starters, 0 depth. Things get ugly with multiple major injuries.

[u/FSZou]

Is there anyone this guy won't rim? Himself, ESPN, both of the teams playing, Shakespeare's, the sport of tennis, what's left?

[u/boner4crosstabs → u/FSZou]

Don’t forget the app.

[u/RichardTBarber]

While that kick was worth 1 real point, it was worth 500 Skeeball points

[u/FSZou]

Why is a merc getting reps instead of Zollers?

[u/WiseComfortable6648 → u/FSZou]

Because clearly isn't that guy and we will be getting a transfer to start once Simmons is gone.

[u/Cogitoergosumus]

Back ups playing like they're pouting

[u/superworriedspursfan]

our starters look solid but our depth is dogshit. ngl this gives me would do well in big 12/acc, but not the sec or big ten vibes.

[u/WiseComfortable6648 → u/superworriedspursfan]

This has always been the case of Mizzou in the SEC, our backups are a tier below the ~top half of the SEC.

[u/superworriedspursfan → u/WiseComfortable6648]

nope. last year our defensive lineup backups would have held these guys to negative yards.

[u/Ok_Flow3504]

Please tell me these aren't rotational players and are in fact way the fuck down on the depth chart

[u/The_Russ_Bus → u/Ok_Flow3504]

3rd stringers-4th stringers

[u/BuffaloBuffalo13]

For fucks sake

[u/poophead69430]

Backups either aren’t good or just don’t care

[u/eclectic_tastes]

I dropped Oklahoma for this defense 😭

[u/BuffaloBuffalo13 → u/eclectic_tastes]

Sucks. But I could’ve told you that Drink doesn’t give a shit about shutouts or blowouts.

[u/MasterOfDankMemesV2]

Trenches have looked like trash and none of the backup defensive guys can wrap up. Yikes.

[u/FSZou]

For the love of God shut the hell up about tennis

[u/Fantastic-Phone-8891 → u/FSZou]

Tennis is one of the worst sports

[u/poophead69430]

Ight Matt Zollers is a running QB confirmed

[u/Cogitoergosumus]

Once again, we have 6 man front and then all of the defense in the back field seconds later.

[u/penisthightrap_]

Is Favrow above Edwards on the depth chart? I haven’t heard of hun before tonight

[u/BuffaloBuffalo13]

Holy shit did they block anyone?

[u/poophead69430]

Alrighty let’s score here

[u/poophead69430]

Alright just one more touchdown man please we have such good field position

[u/Trubisko_Daltorooni]

Punting was awful last year so maybe it was part of the game plan to get it going tonight

[u/BuffaloBuffalo13]

I didn’t expect to cover -55.5

But this is honestly going to look disappointing to voters. Especially if we surrender any more points.

[u/poophead69430]

Absolutely lethargic second half holy cow these guys are so checked out

[u/leave_no_crumb → u/poophead69430]

That’s on Zollers.

[u/poophead69430]

If Fowlkes doesn’t get a new pair of cleats next week I swear to god

[u/Cogitoergosumus → u/poophead69430]

Four times he's been involved this game and fours times he's brought himself down

[u/leave_no_crumb]

Is Kirby Moore calling plays again?

[u/Trubisko_Daltorooni → u/leave_no_crumb]

Maybe Eli is lol

[u/BuffaloBuffalo13]

Let Zollers throw downfield

[u/Uncle_Charlie_04 → u/BuffaloBuffalo13]

They tried. He's a checkdown merchant that is very uncomfortable while out there.

[u/poophead69430]

Matt “Beau pribula” Zollers

[u/Cogitoergosumus]

Unacceptable for the oline to perform that bad honestly.

[u/BuffaloBuffalo13 → u/Cogitoergosumus]

On that 4th down play they almost botched, the left tackle looked up and ignored the DE that was right in front of him.

Concerning.

[u/penisthightrap_ → u/Cogitoergosumus]

Yeah not feeling great about what the oline has shown today

[u/Cogitoergosumus → u/penisthightrap_]

I get we have true freshmen out there, but man the five man group collectively blocked three guys on a couple of those snaps

[u/Lightning_Driver]

where's the equipment violation for that ripped jersey?

[u/penisthightrap_]

I don’t understand how that’s a flag? Wtf

[u/greenday568 → u/penisthightrap_]

I see it he hit him with the crown of his helmet

However I think it’s a weak flag

[u/penisthightrap_ → u/greenday568]

The defender was as low as you can expect

[u/BuffaloBuffalo13 → u/penisthightrap_]

Attacked with the crown of the helmet

[u/penisthightrap_ → u/BuffaloBuffalo13]

How low do you expect the defender to get?

[u/BuffaloBuffalo13 → u/penisthightrap_]

He apparently hit him off center. I saw his helmet go directly to the head when I watch it live. I guess it’s good they do video review.

[u/RedditorRed]

This commentary is so bad it's the only thing keeping me watching

[u/Lightning_Driver]

thanks refs, very cool!

[u/Bulky_Fisherman9084]

The will NOT be denied

[u/Ok_Flow3504]

Those damn third string/walk ons

[u/poophead69430]

Ight can we score 15+

[u/nhaynes322]

Went to the game, left well before half time because of how well the tigers are doing, no need to stay and see PB start crying

[u/RichardTBarber]

While that kick was worth 1 real point, it was worth 200 Skeeball points

[u/BuffaloBuffalo13]

… not crazy about letting them score

Drink underestimates how little sports writers watch of the games. We need to win by A LOT to keep up the rankings.

[u/poophead69430]

Really 😐😐😐😐😐

[u/penisthightrap_]

There goes the shutout

[u/greenday568]

Give that punter an Oscar dude sold that shit so hard

[u/Lightning_Driver]

punter needs to switch to soccer.

[u/poophead69430]

Was really hoping for a shutout

[u/BuffaloBuffalo13 → u/poophead69430]

That’s the expectation. We needed to win by 40+ or it’s a disappointment.

The voters don’t watch the games.

[u/PMitko]

Doing everything they can to prevent an over

[u/penisthightrap_]

Sold it for sure. Foot barely hits his shoulder and grabs his shin in pain

[u/leave_no_crumb]

This punter should get the academy award.

[u/MayorOfTacoBueno]

Weak call there

[u/poophead69430]

Dude, the last running into the kicker that wasn’t called should’ve been but this one??

[u/EggplanttWizardd]

Rutgers paid UMass $1.55 million and gave them 500 complimentary tickets to get BEAT down tonight

[u/BuffaloBuffalo13 → u/EggplanttWizardd]

That’s one of the most Rutgers things I’ve ever heard

[u/BuffaloBuffalo13]

Backups don’t wrap up 😬

[u/penisthightrap_]

It’s the time of year where I get overly pessimistic about a 40 point lead

[u/poophead69430]

I really do wonder how we’ll be when Zollers is at the helm. Lots for him to improve on

[u/Jews_Intuition → u/poophead69430]

Not sure he will be

[u/STL-Zou → u/Jews_Intuition]

my take too. If this is how he looks against UAPB after having started and a year under his belt he probably just isn't up to snuff for this league

[u/AllTimeTy]

Hey we aren’t ass at punting this season, great.

[u/leave_no_crumb]

Very significant drop off in QB play.

[u/OrangMan14]

Zollers' spirals are wobbly af

[u/penisthightrap_ → u/OrangMan14]

Just like my girlfriend

[u/poophead69430 → u/penisthightrap_]

BANG!!!

[u/poophead69430]

Alright wrap it up, good win onto the beakers

[u/Aditup-MIZ]

We got a OL with glasses. Hell yeah!

[u/penisthightrap_]

What was the final spread?

[u/BuffaloBuffalo13 → u/penisthightrap_]

-55.5

[u/leave_no_crumb → u/BuffaloBuffalo13]

They’ll cover

[u/BuffaloBuffalo13 → u/leave_no_crumb]

Not sure. Backups are letting them drive and Zollers isn’t in rhythm.

[u/poophead69430 → u/penisthightrap_]

-55.5

[u/penisthightrap_ → u/poophead69430]

Oh wow

[u/poophead69430]

Seeing our backup RBs makes me feel comfortable

[u/poophead69430]

Ngl, Edward’s is lookin good

[u/leave_no_crumb]

Hard to recover from back to back penalties with that talent.

[u/poophead69430]

Ahhh there’s those sacks

[u/AllTimeTy]

Batoon needs to remind his squad we play 4 full quarters.

[u/Cogitoergosumus]

Ok it's a tad hilarious and sad how different the size is between the starting and second string defensive line

[u/MIZ_09 → u/Cogitoergosumus]

These are a lot of third stringers. Simpson and Hensley I saw out there are third stringers.

[u/Cogitoergosumus → u/MIZ_09]

Surprised Simpson is out there, felt like the news was he wasn't practicing until just recently.

[u/penisthightrap_]

Damn, 17/19 is hard to dislike

[u/AllTimeTy → u/penisthightrap_]

Keep going I’m close

[u/Aditup-MIZ → u/penisthightrap_]

I might go so far as to say I like it?

[u/penisthightrap_ → u/Aditup-MIZ]

Careful

[u/leave_no_crumb]

No Chuckie should ever call a college football game.

[u/PMitko]

This is the longest halftime

[u/Cogitoergosumus]

Being in this game thread feels like a safe haven from the absolute turmoil that is going on thanks to Joey Freshwater.

[u/penisthightrap_]

The north endzone is the best stadium renovation at Mizzou I’ve witnessed.

I do question the empty space concrete concourse that’s pushing the hill back away from the field. I’m sure there’s a reason, but that’s my only major critique

[u/AllTimeTy → u/penisthightrap_]

I didn’t know if it was just me but I was getting frustrated from not seeing the M during normal televised view. It’s so far now :(

[u/MIZ_09]

Apparently Green has a noticeable limp on the sidelines. Not great Bob.

[u/LemonZestify]

First half thoughts

Simmons looks the part. I’m just not used to a lefty QB

Olugbode is gonna be an absolute stud.

Roberts is Roberts and the OL is shaky but it’s the first game.

Defense looks great the DBs are absolutely flying out there.

Edwards looks to have an explosiveness that I haven’t seen from an RB in a while

[u/Cogitoergosumus]

Jude James looked uncovered there, not great that Zollers chose to just try the first read option.

[u/ShaggsMagoo]

All that money for renovations in that end zone and they just couldn’t scrounge up the funds to buy nets. The admin respects skeeball.

[u/RichardTBarber → u/ShaggsMagoo]

Sadly there is a net in the north endzone

[u/leave_no_crumb]

It feels so gooooood to have a kicker again.

[u/poophead69430]

Oh my goodness how I’ve missed BLAKE CRAIG FIELD GOALS

[u/frontwheelgone]

Zollers is clearly a few steps down

[u/AllTimeTy → u/frontwheelgone]

Who’s Zollers? All I know is our savior Austin Simmons

While that kick was worth 3 real points, it was worth 200 Skeeball points

Do any of y’all remember which leg Blake Craig tore his ACL in?

[u/AllTimeTy → u/poophead69430]

It was his plant leg.

[u/poophead69430 → u/AllTimeTy]

Ahh

[u/christ0fer]

Late slides are always tough.

[u/poophead69430]

Targeting is bad

[u/-Kyllsw1tch-]

Don’t do a targeting

[u/Cogitoergosumus]

That's very bang bang

[u/191374]

Is UAPB an NAIA school lmao I have never heard of them

[u/-Kyllsw1tch- → u/191374]

FCS. They are very not good

[u/AllTimeTy]

Simmons could’ve easily had 500

[u/FSZou]

Please dont Sam Horn yourself

[u/poophead69430 → u/FSZou]

Pls don’t remind me I’m getting PTSD

[u/poophead69430]

1. Zollers relax
   
2. Ngl he has good burst

[u/SpaceghostLos → u/poophead69430]

Good burst.

[u/poophead69430 → u/SpaceghostLos]

Yes I loved his burst

[u/SpaceghostLos]

Woof. What a slide.

[u/poophead69430]

Let the kid sling it Eli

[u/leave_no_crumb → u/poophead69430]

He chose to run

[u/poophead69430]

Is that THE Matt Zollers?????

[u/STL-Zou → u/poophead69430]

The bane of Mississippi state Matt zollers

[u/SpaceghostLos → u/poophead69430]

Zoller Holler

[u/poophead69430]

So uhhh yall got any of them sacks? (Insert Dave chapelle meme)

[u/SpaceghostLos → u/poophead69430]

🫪

[u/MIZ_09]

Our DEs cannot finish. Concerning.

[u/poophead69430 → u/MIZ_09]

I will say they’re getting in the backfield, just need to keep their head on a swivel

[u/SpaceghostLos]

Who are the game callers!

[u/boner4crosstabs → u/SpaceghostLos]

Tennis fans

[u/Which-Arrival6777]

as a Commanders fan, Dotson immediately reminds me of Sean Taylor

[u/poophead69430]

Elijah Dotson my god he’s gonna be a problem. Pick taken away and now a fumble. He’s gonna get his eventually

[u/AllTimeTy → u/poophead69430]

Do you know off hand where he came from? Was he one of the Oregon transfers?

[u/poophead69430 → u/AllTimeTy]

Michigan! He was a freshman there last year

[u/AllTimeTy → u/poophead69430]

Oh nice. He’s hungry for that ball, love to see it

[u/EggplanttWizardd]

Took the over so keep running it up, Tigers

[u/leave_no_crumb → u/EggplanttWizardd]

Was it over/under 65?

[u/EggplanttWizardd → u/leave_no_crumb]

Took 59.5

[u/leave_no_crumb → u/EggplanttWizardd]

💰💰💰

[u/leave_no_crumb → u/EggplanttWizardd]

Probably good but we’ll see how Zollers plays. UAPB needs a gift TD to easily hit.

[u/sebsasour]

Per Sagarin this is not the biggest mismatch of the season in terms of power rating (that's Indiana vs Howard), but it is the biggest mismatch of the season in terms of spot in the rankings. #20 vs #260 (out of 266)

Seems like it's reflecting that so far

[u/FSZou → u/sebsasour]

Actually Austin Simmons is just an amalgamation created through a Columbia Crack dealer's pagan ritual that sheared the souls of Dan Marino and John Elway and combined them into one. Good try with the stats though.

[u/AllTimeTy → u/sebsasour]

No actually we’re just that good. 👀

[u/SpaceghostLos → u/AllTimeTy]

Hope!

[u/poophead69430]

Ah wish we got that ball damn

[u/FSZou]

I almost don't even care to see Zollers with a green light anymore. I still do though.

[u/LemonZestify → u/FSZou]

I want to see Zollers in a non Kirby Moore offense

[u/leave_no_crumb → u/LemonZestify]

This

[u/poophead69430 → u/LemonZestify]

I agree, this offense seems a LOT more open. Let’s see him sling it

[u/LemonZestify → u/poophead69430]

I like that the offense seems like it is actually built towards the offenses strengths instead of the Kirby just demanding sideline throws with Beau who is not a good sideline passer

[u/poophead69430 → u/LemonZestify]

I agree, I think one of the reasons why Beau did as well as he did last weekend w Virginia is cause they built it around his skillset

[u/AllTimeTy]

hey USC, this is how you fill out a stadium btw

[u/Fantastic-Phone-8891 → u/AllTimeTy]

The excuses for that were crazy. “There’s other stuff to do in LA!” Nah the school just doesn’t gaf

“We were playing a nobody cupcake team”

Those are my numbers at the end of the game. 😭😭

Please do. As an osu fan, fuck kansas

Beautiful throw 🥹

[u/Patient_Tradition294]

Beau would be throwing an interception right to a Pine Bluff corner right about now if he was still playing for us.

[u/Trubisko_Daltorooni]

I thought I wanted to see a lot of our backups tonight but screw it, lets get Simmons 1k yards

[u/MIZ_09]

It’s just Pine Bluff. But that arm talent is fucking incredible. I think he’s going to throw some picks. He’s got some gunslinger in him. But this may be a lot of fun.

[u/AllTimeTy]

Ok im buying a Simmons jersey, ive seen enough.
