1. The defense under Corey Batoon has jelled much faster than anticipated, maybe even more than expected. He has these guys flying around. This is the fastest Missouri defense 1-3 we've ever had, easily. The drop off from first to second team is minimal. But, do we have A GUY... that can step up when they need a stop? Rarely, can a team work so well that they don't need "a guy" but THIS might be that team.
2. Brady Cook is struggling to find a rhythm on deep throws, much as he did early last season. We heard all summer that Cook was working on his deep ball. For whatever reason, it isn't showing yet. He needs "a game," to get his confidence going again.
3. The offensive line is a work in progress. Lots of talent there, but it's not quite clicking right now.
4. LB3, where are ya?
5. The DB room is good, but can they be great?
The obvious...
6. We are stacked at WR
7. We are stacked at LB
8. The run game should be just fine.
