Let's kick off our last day of deep dives this week with the receivers and pass coverage groups.

Offensive and defensive lines will be up soon.

Here’s a look at the first injury report for the week. Drinkwitz announced Tuesday that Jacobs and Moore were out for the season. Noel and Newson are still questionable after missing the game at UMass and Burden is probable.

None of the Auburn players listed were expected in this game.

I know it’s a longshot but what the hell?

Tennessee is the team atop four-star Kesean Bowman's list, but Missouri and others are still early in the mix for the Class of 2027 athlete.

Here's a look at his offer sheet and what the Tigers liked about his film. This article is subject to an update, once Bowman announces his upcoming visit schedule.

Here’s story No. 3 from me today as I get back into looking at the basketball season with the final three games before the conference season begins.

Class of 2026 four-star wide receiver Tyreek King listed Alabama, Louisville, LSU, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee and Texas A&M in his Top 8.

From @samspiegelman:

Kevin Hartsfield has been around his high school program since the fifth grade. He's now a freshman, contributing to the varsity team at Covington (Ga.) Newton, where Missouri has another target. The Tigers jumped in early on his recruitment, as the Class of 2028 running back is picking up Power Four interest left and right.

Eli Drinkwitz had a lot to say ahead of Missouri's homecoming matchup with Auburn. Here's my read on what was most important Tuesday.

On to story No. 2 today. We've looked at how Missouri's running backs stack up against the Auburn run defense, now let's flip it around and see how Missouri's run D matches up with Auburn running back Jarquez Hunter.

Jacob Eberhart -- whose cousin is Markus Golden -- announced an offer from Missouri on Wednesday. The Class of 2026 recruit took part in a camp this past summer, and he plays for Jeremy Maclin in the St. Louis area.

Here’s a conversation with him from a few months ago:

Jacob Eberhart is the cousin of Markus Golden. He also plays for Jeremy Maclin in the St. Louis area, but his offer from Missouri meant more to him than his connections to the Tigers. It checked off a couple firsts in his recruitment.

Let's continue our deep dive into this week's game and look at how the Mizzou running backs match up with Auburn's run defense.

(I shared this on the other site today and thought I would cross post here.. lets see how many people I can get to call me stupid this time... )

So here is another thought-exercise since my last attempt (when I made an argument that we could end up 6-6) went so well. What if... Mizzou isn't as bad as we think?

Mizzou is one of 7 teams in the SEC with 1 loss or less. And most of those other teams still have to play one another. The reality is that of those 7, there is a good likelihood that none escapes with less than 2 losses. (see below) And Mizzou is solidly in the hunt with one of the easier schedules of the 7 top teams.

Now for the fun part. Going into aTm we were pretty down on the wins that Mizzou had... none were convincing except Murray State & Buffalo... but, Buffalo is atop the MAC with some good wins. Vandy is turning heads. And BC is a solid 4-2. As @GabeD said a few times, the aTm game shocked us all, and the UMass game was what it should have been and I don't think any of us "feel better" because of it. With the feeling that maybe we are not that good being confirmed at aTm, it is natural that we are pretty down on the team. And to be sure, there are some glaring issues. But, what if aTm really IS THAT GOOD? They have some of the best talent money can buy and now they have a real coach... maybe they are turning it around like most of us were afraid they would. Maybe Mizzou went in thinking it should be an easier game... and aTm decided to curbstomp them. Let's face it, Drink was outcoaced that day. The players were shell shocked by the 2nd series. aTm seemed to be on another level and everything was working for them. Nothing was going right for Mizzou and this was the first adversity they had experienced all year... maybe since the KSU or Florida games last year! They responded like crap, and that is what we labeled them...

But maybe they are not... maybe it was a case of aTm realizing who they are on a day Mizzou came in not ready to play? Sure, that says a lot about the team and the coaches... but THAT is recoverable. That COULD be the best thing to happen to this team.

Sure, I am down on the O-Line, and Luther (I know, I know) and the defense is painful to watch at times... but if they can win this weekend against Auburn, then play well at Bama... the rest of the schedule is doable (watch out for USCe). If Mizzou can get out at 10-2, there is a very real possibility we could be in the running for going to Atlanta.

Sure, this What if is just as extreme as my 6-6 What if..... but you all thought I was crazy when I posted that before the aTm game. While I am still really cautious about embracing hope (though I would if SEC Shorts Hope showed up)... I can see the possibility that things are not as bad as they seem, that Mizzou could end up in the playoffs, and possibly in the SEC Championship game. As before, my prediction is closer to 8-4... but 10-2 and 6-6 are not out of the running. And now I will brace for the bevy of inevitable down votes...

Thoughts?
