Here is a quote that is more worrisome to me than any I have read from Tribune article......
"I kinda feel like we came out a little slow," Penton, who finished with six tackles in the loss, admitted after the game. "Going forward, we'll just stick together and get the team chemistry going. We should be fine."
If team chemistry is not good it almost never improves and if it does improve its incremental. This is the single biggest concern I now have is that this Mizzou team is still not together. If so this is not going to be a good season. Before the game I was positive on the season outlook (I thought we would have at least 8 wins). Now I don't think we get seven (so a six win team).
One other interesting thing is that I felt that the only player to really play well on Saturday on defense was Penton. He had an incredible game and he played tough. Really on offense and on defense I would say that he was the only player to play tough. He is player that is quoted and I think unfortunately that this is telling as well.
