I have no feel for this one. You gotta believe the distractions and suspensions will be an issue. Mizzou is a good road team. Dobbs hasn't played bad yet this year. So, is he due or impervious to the textbook analysis. This game really comes down to Dobbs. If he keeps playing like he has been, the Vols will join Ark as big time SEC Stock Up teams. He has just made THAT much of a difference. But the chance to finish 7-5 and then 8-5 is a HUGE deal for us. That is big momentum to close out recruiting.
Not sure. You are slightly closer on total points, but Card got the margin right. You win a Bajakian, and Card wins a Jancek. (This sounded clever in my head)
Also, mizzou is a solid team. They aren't flasjy, win ugly, but they win. Better team won last night. I have no idea how they lost to Indiana.
Pinkel has established a model of consistency there that nobody in the east has except Georgia. Like it or not, Mizzou is a team that is built to win the east right now. I love a defensive line. Most important unit in football, IMO.
