Drew Lock played very well last night despite the completion percentage. Johnson and Jmon each had a drop. Hall probably had 4. I think Drew really only missed one wide open receiver and that was Albert O in the first quarter on 4th down. Drew never threw the ball up for grabs and really never had that wtf moment he tends to suffer early in ballgames. He has really matured. Had his receivers not let him down he would have gone bananas last night.

Ish Witter was solid again. But on 2 occasions at least he was one move away from taking a run to the house. I think had Rountree been given that chance he busts it open.

Our OL and in particular T. Castillo had tough sledding last night. Credit Vandy's DT's for controlling the LOS after quarter 2. I don't think many teams can do this against us.

Xavier Hall-We need to get him going. Our offense is virtually unstoppable if a safety has to worry about him and our TE's and Jmon. Him being non-existent last night really limited the offense. He should destroy man to man. Next game, I would give him a reverse or jet sweep to get him an easy touch and get him going. He needs to play a major role next week and next year.

Receiver in general. I'm concerned for next season. JJ has not really had the year I was expecting and he also is good for one drop a game. Hew also has a small catching radius and never really seems to be running open. Hopefully we have enough returning but I am not sold. I would look for juco help despite signing 5 freshman. I think we should move C. Hilton back to WR. I think he could make himself a reliable target with some abilities after the catch.

Linebackers. Garrett, Lee and Hall were all excellent yesterday. Nothing too complain about here. Next year they all return. With Miller and Brooks waiting in the wings the future should be bright.

Corners. Sparks and Acy have to make you smile. Sure they both are far from finished products but they are getting better and the experience they gained this season will carry over to next. Its been awhile since we have had such young talent at corner. And its my belief that Holmes is the best of the bunch.Future is bright.

Coaching. Mad props to Odom. This team played poorly on offense and won a cakewalk. I think he will have this team grounded for Arky. I think we see them come out focused and hungry. He expects them to win out. Good time to be a Missouri fan and you couldn't say that five weeks ago.

My newborn child- is roughly 4 weeks old. He has never seen a Missouri loss. We are 3-0 in SEC conference games during that span. That's how you build the future and make diehard Tiger fans.

I expect football recruiting to really pick up. Odom and Co. has a lot to sell right now.
