Running backs coach Curtis Luper offered Class of 2026 three-stars Amari Clemons and Jayreon Campbell on Sunday.

Here's a look at a couple of what I considered Eli Drinkwitz's most important quotes from Tuesday's press conference and what more I think there are to the answers given.

Bradys taken alot of heat but the line and WR did him no favors. A lot of plays called back or the pass hit the receiver in the hands/head (ive never seen that). On third down the rush almost always got home or he threw it away. He doesn't help his own cause by throwing of his back foot consistently. Makes for inaccurate under thrown balls. Not sure if he's hurt or just rattled.

The defense was flat awful against the run way too often and horrendous on third down. So many times aTm was behind the chains and converted anyway. Weigman probably played the best game of his career and his WR made acrobatic catches in tight coverage. The line kept him clean and we didn't bring the blitz enough, Klein seemed to have the answer to every formation.

Not sure many QBs could do that to us and I have to believe we didn't run the Same defense for Weigman as the backup. Too many penalties and quite a few bad calls took us out of rhythm and we showed little interest in being there with terrible body language. Someone needed to rip into these guys or maybe they did and they just didn't respond. Horrible game with everything going the opponents way.

Honestly though I don't think Cook or the line are as bad as people say. They need a kick in the butt and the WR need some discipline bc the effort wasn't there. Thing is all of its fixable is just whether Drink can get his guys to live up to their montra.

Edit: As pointed out by others ITT this is wrong; Also Drink is 0-8 after a bye week(he's actually 0-8 on road 11 am kicks). He sucks at it. Maybe just keep the same practice schedule as a normal week and scrimmage Saturday just for the heck of it

I'm switching up the format for these a little bit this week. Let me know if you guys prefer this setup or more like last week going position group against the same position group.

Didn't see anything around today's Coaches/AP polls versus the playoffs, so here is one view after looking at the polls, remaining schedules, and projected lines:


Texas, Ohio State and Oregon are in barring any surprising losses at this point. Georgia can likely join that conversation with a win in Austin. Penn State is all but in with a win at USC this weekend. Let's say that's five teams in of the 12.

2-3 at large spots In the SEC: Alabama, Tennessee, Mizzou, A&M, Ole Miss, and LSU. This crowd will thin down to no more than four teams over the next two weeks.
Potentially 1 at-large spot In the BIG, for Indiana if they do the impossible and finish 11-1 with a close lose at Ohio State.
Likely 1 at-large spot in the BigXII if two teams out of BYU, Utah, K-State, and Iowa State go 11-1 and meet in the conference championship game.
Potentially 1 at-large spot in the ACC if Miami and Pitt are 12-0 and meet in the CCG, or a 12-0 Miami team plays a 11-1 Clemson team and loses. I don't think a 2-loss ACC team gets in as we currently stand.
There's also the ND factor, but I am hopeful when the CFP polls come out in November they will account for the loss at home against NIU, which is by far the worst loss out of the one loss teams so far. Playoff teams don't lose at home in MACtion games.


This week, the Ole Miss/LSU loser is out. LSU/A&M in two weeks will go a long way to determining how bad the loss in College Station hurts Mizzou. A&M winning this game starts realistic playoff talks with only Texas as the only major test and A&M starts to look like a Top 10 team; LSU winning the next two starts to bring them back into the conversation for a bid and jumps both A&M and Mizzou with no real way to reclaim an at-large bid back from LSU without significant help.


What it all means for Mizzou and what helps the cause:

- A&M to win out to the Texas game and look competitive against Texas. A&M likely makes the playoff in this scenario at 10-2.
- Alabama to win out (assuming Mizzou loses in Tuscaloosa) to the SEC title game. Alabama is in, in this scenario.
- A loss by Penn State at USC would be very helpful (LSU beat USC earlier this year). Penn State losing to OSU and @Minnesota on top would be even better.
- ND losing a second game is very helpful, even better if that game is to USC to end the year.
- Indiana, Pitt, and K-State each lose a game to an unranked opponent. BC beating Pitt at the end of the year is even more helpful.
- Utah loses to BYU; BYU runs the table and wins the BigXII.
- Iowa State loses to Utah and K-State. Even better if they drop a game against an unranked opponent, either Colorado or West Virginia.
- Clemson loses any conference game.
- Vandy keeps playing the way they did against Alabama and springs another upset, even better if that is against Tennessee.

Mizzou helps itself instantly by beating Alabama, which is highly unlikely. However, Mizzou still has now three quality games with South Carolina, Arkansas, and Oklahoma left, all of which can repair the damage of losing at A&M. Saturday hurt but is nowhere near the death blow as was discussed yesterday. A 10-2 Mizzou team with losses to Top 5-10 Alabama and A&M teams can still get in. Losing any other game is the end of any playoff talk for Mizzou.


And for the love of God - Notre Dame, please lose to Stanford this weekend so you drop out the poll.

The NCAA announced the following Tuesday in regard to the transfer windows for football and men's and women's basketball:

Football:
"Effective immediately, football notification of transfer windows will open for 30 total days, including 20 days after FBS conference championship weekend and 10 days in the spring.For the current year, those dates will be Dec. 9-28 and April 16-25."

MBB/WBB:

Additionally:
"In all sports, an additional 30-day notification of transfer window will continue to open for student-athletes the day after the departure of their head coach is announced."

The approved changes are not final until the meeting concludes Wednesday.

@Greg Smith logged a FutureCast for Michigan to land Andrew Babalola, who has been a primary target for Missouri, especially by Class of 2025 commits Jack Lange and Matt Zollers.

@Marshall Levenson joined me to discuss what's next for Lamont Rogers and his commitment to Missouri, while also discussing two other Tigers commits and targets within the Class of 2025 and 2026.

There is nobody out there hunting the QB. Smith gave everybody fits this fall and was poised to break-out. Our DL looks very different with him playing major snaps. Also, the A and M game really makes you see why the coaches wanted the DT Simeon Barrow Jr. so badly.

Missouri offered Class of 2026 recruit Jae Lamar on Tuesday. The Moultrie (Ga.) Colquitt County running back spoke with director of player personnel Ryan Trichel.

Lamar visited Auburn in September and has received offers from SEC programs like Georgia and Ole Miss.

I was told 2026 high three-star DE Anthony Kennedy Jr. is planning to visit Missouri for the upcoming Auburn matchup. Some believe Arkansas might have the edge but I've been told that isn't true and he might want to leave the state to play college football.

Looking beyond this year. Who is the QB1 next year assuming they are on the team now. Is Horn still an option? Does Drew Pyne have another year?

I’m done thinking about today, I’m hoping Horn is the guy, should be healed up by next summer and he’s had two years to learn the offense even if just watching.

ESPN just stated, coach is out! Saleh is gone!

Anthony Kennedy Jr. will be making his fourth visit to Missouri on Oct. 19 for the homecoming game against Auburn. Kennedy has built a strong relationship with defensive line coach Al Davis, who played and coached in Kennedy's home state. The Tigers also roster two of Kennedy's former teammates. There are quotes included from Kennedy's father.

Jeheim Otis, redshirting and transferring from Bama.

Would take Mizzou's D up a notch next year and help an offense losing quite a bit stay relevant.

Especially with the players coming back from injury and the young depth along the line.

Back the truck up Eliah!

We fall 12 spots for losing to a ranked A&M team while the Vols drop 4 spots for losing to an unranked Arkansas.

Very clear that the voters thought we’ve looked like crap all season and were looking for an opportunity to drop us like a rock.

Here's an overview of UMass to get everyone ready for the week.

Will this tradition continue?

Need 1 RV lot parking pass for Auburn

I will sell separately. Send me a DM if you are interested.

Lot M — $250– Sold

Section 104 row 48 seats 5 and 6–$350 for the pair. —SOLD

Anyone that is going to U-Mass did you buy tickets through Mizzou and how were they delivered to you?

Heading to Atlanta for work this week. Any good food spots or cool place for an open air food/drink/music would be appreciated.

Will this class end up top 25 still if the wheels are falling off?

Throttled in all aspects of the game today on national coverage.
-Zero pressure on the qb, D line has shown zero ability to disengage from blocks and no threat at all from the edge.
-O line weak and didn’t seem to care how bad they were being beaten.
- Open receivers all over the field for non contested catches for the Aggies even with very little blitzing going on, head scratching.
-players sulking with their heads down(looking at you Luther) when only down by 7 points, inexcusable.
- QB that cannot get the ball where it needs to be on the rare occasions that a receiver is open.
- Tight end usage non-existent.
- Outcoached on every phase of the game, right now this team has zero identity.
