NEW STORY INSTANT REACTION: MIZZOU 27, BOSTON COLLEGE 21
- Thread starter GabeD
- Start date
Exactly. Looking at their schedule I think they lose 3 games this year.
Mizzou held BC to under 300 yards of total offense.....which included 104 yards on 2 plays. The fluke fumbled snap TD and the blown coverage on last BC TD.
The ACC officials were really bad. Some of Mizzou's penalties were legit.....but they missed a ton of BC holding on the OL and 2 PI's by BC.
Mizzou didn't play great at times....and they also need to be coached better. The 3rd and 4 deep shot was dumb. They were lucky to get 3 points on that drive. But on 3rd and 10 after going up 27-14, you have to blitz on that play. He had struggled when Mizzou brought pressure.
Moore needs to check out the play calls for Jeremy Maclin. We need to bring back the fake out pattern back to the middle play....Maclin burned people on that play so many times. With all the damn out patterns we run.....it should work with Burden, Wease or Johnson.

Team stats don't mean a ton early in the season...but we held a ranked team that had been averaging 282 yards per game rushing (8th in the nation) to only 46 yards rushing and only 1.8 per carry.
That has to count for something...even in the eyes of the most pessimistic.
Batoon was patient with his defensive game plan to limit the QB runs and make him beat us with his arm...and in the end it worked more often than not.
Mizzou controlled this game for the most part. The two coverage busts that gave up TD's and the excessive penalties are what kept this game close.
Both of those issues seemingly are fixable.

BC IS good. They aren't SEC Caliber but are legit ACC contenders. It was not perfect but it was a good win.
The defensive plan was great. He should have thrown 3 picks but Carnell just dropped it. The Burks busted coverages really suck because it could have been a dominant effort outside of that. The run defense is elite again.
Yeah, it was a bit of an overreaction. More that we handed them multiple TDs. It should have been a blowout.
Felt like the game changed a bit in 1st Qrtr when BC punted near midfield. The INT was the big turning point obviously but they could’ve went for the kill early and didn’t.
MU O-line, QB, LBIII (loss of composure x2) and DBs all made major mistakes and we still beat the team which might win the ACC and be in a CPF spot. Should have been easier/bigger score, but we have TALENT and good coaching. Performance issues can be corrected.
The BC QB and Skeete were legit. They are a good team and Bill Obrien is building something there.
I am hoping this is like the Memphis game last year. I think they will pound Vandy next week.
More than anything else, the lack of discipline needs to be addressed. The 2nd and 59 drive was embarrassing. It reminded me of Odom's later years and that one drive they got 3 unsportsmanlike conduct penalties on one play.
Burden is a superstar and one of the best players in the country. We're going to see players poke and prod him all season long and he's gotta stay focused. He's not going to get the benefit of the doubt in SEC play.

We watched the same game Keith. BC's first points are scored because of a 3rd down penalty where we got the stop. Other two TDs are scored on busted coverages. Those things are easily fixed. If Mizzou had planned even average today they cover easily. BC is a good, not great team, 8-9 wins.
You are a hot mess. Not good?
Full house crowd and wearing the same color in the stands looked GREAT. Coverage of the new editions looked awesome. Cooks running ability is waiting to define our offense.
I like how when Drink started to chew LB3 a new a$& after the two penalties, he just shook his head yes!
Around this time last year we all thought the sky was falling because MTSU almost beat Mizzou. At least this year we closely prevailed in our early "C" game against a ranked Power 4 opponent. Going into this game Mizzou had basically played a preseason schedule as both its opponents were horrible. Today Mizzou played a real team which highlighted some scheme and discipline issues Mizzou needs to clean up. If BC had outmuscled or out-talented Mizzou I might be a little concerned, but everything that was an issue today can and probably will be corrected.
That’s my thought as far as being out-muscled or out talented, they were not even close. Good win today boys.
Is anyone going to give Corey Batoon props for dumping the defensive line strategy of playing assignment football and chasing Castellanos all over the field for a read and react defensive line strategy that kept Castellanos in the pocket where his questionable arm talent was exposed? Batoon could have dialed up numerous blitzes, but stuffing the run and making their QB beat Missouri with his arm was sufficient enough.
I am infinitely more worried about an undisciplined Missouri team making victories much more difficult than they need to be. Penalties of omission are much worse than penalties of commission. Errors of omission are when players are not aware, lining up incorrectly, jumping offsides, undisciplined personal fouls, penalties committed after the play. Errors of commission is when a player attempts to make a tackle and grabs a face mask or commits a holding penalty during a play ... there is effort to do the correct thing, but an infraction incurs.
Missouri is committing sooooooo many errors of omission it is painful to watch. The Oakland Raiders for years did not care if they committed penalties, it was almost a part of their philosophy. Is that what Missouri is trying to establish? If it is , that is completely ridiculous. Is anyone on PowerMizzou going to tell me that Boston College is that much more of a disciplined team than the Missouri Tigers or are the Tigers beginning to develop the reputation of a sloppy penalty filled program?
BTW, bottom line, is that Missouri won and now stand at 3-0. I can complain about style all day long, but a win is a win, is a win. Let's go 4-0 next week.
These are fixable things. Some of it was to be expected with the turnover on defense. Take away two blown coverages and one penalty and this is a team that may have pitched a shutout. They didn't, but that's 3 plays making the difference. They weren't a lack of talent. You can't fix that.
Man, the overall reaction to this win is kind of wild to me. Not sure what made some of the fanbase just assume we were going to be the 2021 Georgia Bulldogs or the 2020 Bama team but this was a good win and while there are things to work on still you beat a solid team that will probably be a contender in the ACC.
Mizzou had a great year last year but they squeaked out some close wins, If you expected this year to never have a game that Mizzou plays poorly and finds a way to win then you weren't being realistic. Not many teams are able to just beat every opponent by double digits, sometimes it's good to just get a win and have a game you don't play anywhere near your best football.
We shouldn't be viewing today negatively, did we play great? Absolutely not but we got the win and games early in the season like this build a ton of character. Mizzou will be better after being challenged today and the entire team knows now what the standard is, you can't play sloppy football and beat other CFB playoff teams, they will need to be better than they were today in about 3-4 games left on their schedule. You can beat teams like Vandy, UMass, Mississippi St and maybe a couple of other games on the schedule if they play equal to how they played today. I'm not sure you can beat Bama, A&M, South Carolina and maybe Oklahoma if they play like they did today.

Again, Batoon deserves some credit here. The defense was off to a slow start but they made adjustments.
The initial damage was limited.

We had opportunities to score more, but made mistakes to limit them, including 4 long penalties or whatever on a promising drive, when we had the ball near their 40. Add 10 potential points, maybe 13 (more, if Brady stops throwing off he back foot, but I'm not even considering his problems). We blew coverages (twice) and handed them another score (first drive) with a dumb penalty on the line. Subtract 7 or 14 from them. Their o-line is really good on pass pro, not so athletic as to run the ball well against us, and we stuffed their runs. We were close to a 37-7 whooping of them, maybe 40 or 44, which would have everyone calmed down here. Relax, if we're healthy, we are right on course.
