WHAT I....
LIKE: Well there wasn’t too much that I liked about this game. The team started and finished slow. The defense played well for 3 quarters, but didn’t when it really mattered.
DISLIKE: My first worry, which played into my prediction, was if the Tigers come out slow as a team that they will lose. No I wasn’t wishing bad luck on my Tigers, I was just being honest as a guy who have been there and done that. Yes sometimes you can get away with starting slow as a team on less stellar opponents, but when you play good teams such as Nebraska, you have to come out smoking. I was disappointed in the offensive play calling. At times it seems as if the O coordinator was nervous up in the booth. To me it looks like they compressed their game plan, to help out Nebraska. The offense had a chance to play defense in this game and help the team when. What I mean by that, is when the Tigers where up 9-0 going into the 4th quarter, the offense should have been running the ball to kill the clock and control the tempo of the game, especially when you have a one legged quarterback at the helm. The O line disappointed me, in not being able to control the line of scrimmage. Just to be honest with you, I think that they where man handled by the Huskers d-line. The Tigers running game was absent at best. D Washington seems to be just a step slow on all of his running plays. I don’t know if it was the weather or what, but the run game was smothered. Defensively, the Tigers played good for 3 quarters, but collapsed when they where really needed. For three quarters, I saw a team that was running and hitting and totally shutting Nebraska down. But once the 4th quarter rolled in, the D-fense rolled out. It seemed like a totally different team out there playing. Giving up big plays, 27 points in like a 5 minute span. That’s just unacceptable. Although the D played well for three quarters, in the game of football, it’s not about how and where you started, but how and where you finish!
SUGGEST: It’s simple, shake it off and move on. The Tigers have two big games coming up with no time in between to pout and dwell on this lost. You know the saying, it is what it is. Learn from this game and continue to grow as a team. Learn how to start fast and finish strong. Football is a 4 quarter game, and with the remainder of MU schedule, they will have to play each team from quarter 1through 4! Learn how to do that as a TEAM!

MU vs Nevada
WHAT I......
LIKE: The one thing that I continue to see from this Tiger team that continues to impress me is the fight and resilience they display, and as a former Pinkel troop, I can say this is a direct reflection of MU's head coach and the way he runs his program! The offense got off to a slow start, but made crucial plays that I felt got the offense going. Gabbert once again displayed that he will be a force to be reckon with this season and beyond. I think that Perry and Alexander are becoming a dual threat in MU's receiver core. I look forward to seeing what else they have to offer as the season goes on, and they come up against better competition. Kendial Lawrence is also someone I expect to become a small but crucial part of the MU offense. Kendial is just a freshman, but I think he is one of those special freshman, if you know what I mean! The defense was OK. See I'm a defensive minded guy, so my attitude is to not give up any yards or points at all. They had some big hits, and stops when it mattered. I like how the guys are aggressive sometime, and how they continue to gel together as a unit. Special teams did their job!
DISLIKE: The thing that I didn't like about the offense was the slow start. With the better teams, which we are now facing, we gotta come out of the locker room smoking. It has to be dominate from the start. That goes for both the offense, D-fense and special teams! As a former captain, my biggest objective on game day, was to get the troops fired up from the start, rather it be by my vocal leadership, or my actions on the field going hard. This is what we need from snap one, from all facets of the game! I also want to see the D tighten up and become ummmmm, a bit more reckless. That's what's Defense is all about, being reckless right?..lol
SUGGEST: You may have herd it a few times in this article already, but my suggest is simple, keep doing what you do, but START FAST AND FISNISH STRONG!

MU vs Furman
What I……
LIKE: The thing I like about this past week’s game is the way that the Tigers played team ball. The offense, once they got going, was fun to watch and from the looks of things tuff to stop. Blaine was once again a stud and showed the folks that his legs are just as valuable as his arm. He was 17 of 25 for 256 yds and 3 TD’s, one which was a rushing score. Jared Perry was just unstoppable, whether he was catching a ball from Gabbert or Alexander (on a double pass), Perry was in the in zone often and put up great numbers 7 rec for 161 yds and 2 TD’s! The other wide outs and the running game were also on point. I want to give BIG ups to the O-line as well, because those guys are doing their thing. The defense was running around hitting folks, and seems to continue to work to get better. I liked the hustle I seen out of the players….keep it up and we can go places. The special teams where ok and sound, which is what a coach is asking at minimum out of his special team crew during the game and entire season.
DISLIKE: The one thing that irked me from the start of this game, was not knowing where Furman was from…lol! So after surfing my blackberry and finding the answer to my questions, (South Carolina), I was able to tune back into what I didn’t like about the game. The first thing is the slow start by the offense. Against the better teams, this is something that will get the Tigers in trouble and I think that they have to put more emphasis on coming out strong and faster. I know that the coaches are doing this, but I won’t be satisfied, until I see it resonate on the field to the players. Another thing that I disliked, and I will continue to say this, is the yardage given up by the MU secondary. Of course yards won’t hurt you when a team is unable to turn those yards into points, but as soon as you meet a team that does, in the Tigers case Nebraska, Texas, Oklahoma St, Kansas etc.., you will face problems in controlling the game. Lets get that cleaned up.
SUGGEST: I suggest that offensively, the Tigers continue to gel and put an emphasis on coming out strong and fast. Defensive wise, I suggest that we tighten up in the back in, and stop given up 8 yard hitches so easy, two of those equals a first down and more. I want to see the secondary become more physical and play makers as well. They have the skill sets to make these things happen; now they just need the attitude. Because when it boils down to it, defense is all about attitude.

MU vs Bowling Green
LIKE: Man wasn't that a nail bitter we witness this past Saturday in Columbia, MO! The Falcons gave the Tigers a run for their money. I can remember when I was playing, and Bowling Green gave us some hell as well. I guess I have to give the Falcons their props, for having a program that competes on the national level every year. I really gotta give props though to the entire MU Tigers team and coaching staff. Even though they got off to a slowwwww start, this team showed resilience and heart to the very end. I guess the saying it don't matter where you start, but where you finish would be a good sub summary for this game. The team came together at the right time and settled for nothing more than a VICTORY!
DISLIKE: The one thing that I didn't like about this game is obvious, the slow start by the Tigers. This is something that when you play the bigger schools, not knocking Bowling Green, will get you killed! As a team, the Tigers have to come out smoking from the kickoff, in all facets of the game!
SUGGEST: I suggest that the Tigers continue doing what they do, and build off the momentum from the 2nd half of the game. The heart and fight that they showed in this game makes up for anything I can suggest at the moment!
