Week 12 Prediction Thread-You Still Don't Belong In the SEC Edition

Well last week was disappointing and State fans have been wanting a QB change all week. No this is not 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2013, 2016, 2018, 2019, 2020, or 2023. It's 2025. And I fully expect, barring Shapen being downgraded on the injury report, he will start on Saturday night in CoMo. Mizzou is as good defensively as they are bad offensively. The matchup of the game will be our front 7 vs their O Line. Can we get movement and create holes for our LBs to fill and contain Hardy and Roberts. If so, we have a chance. Because they are ANEMIC passing the ball right now. If not, they'll win by 2 TDs.

Defensively they are very aggressive and very good. Mizzou is 6th in the country in sack percentage and 9th in sacks per game. Shapen is going to have to get rid of the ball quick and our O Line is going to have to hold up. Running lanes will not be there unless we open that up with the pass. Mizzou is 13th in country in defending the run so folks wanting Kamario to come in and run it are not going to like what they see. Kamario will need to play situationally but he's got to be extremely smart with the ball, make the correct reads, and not take chances. Because on top of all those great defensive stats, they are also elite against the pass.

This will be the best D BY FAR that we have faced all year and you are playing them at night, at home, and on their Senior Night.

For that reason, and I hope I'm wrong, Mizzou 21-Dawgs 13

Shapen Pass Yds-185

Team Rushing Yds-80

Kamario TDs- 1

I don't care which qb starts bc I don't think we have a shot either way. With that said, Missouri is better vs the pass than the run in conf games.

Missouri 28
State 17

Zoo 28 - dawgs 10

Shapen sacked 5 times

rushing yds 103

I tend to agree with you that we do not have much of a shot either way. They are pretty elite against the run though. A&M is the only team in conference or out of conference to go over 150 yds rushing against them.

I'm in this camp also. No idea on score but easily double digits. Very minimal chance of pulling off an upset.

Mizz 3-2. Sorry but that's what we're looking at since we don't know the starter. If Shapen, 5 sacks and he gets knocked out of the game early.
then it's KT Time.

150 yds rush. 3 TDs. Total rush 250 yds since he opens up the box.

But they can also run and we can't stop them so they 300 yds rushing

Mizz 35 MSU 28.

Since losing their starting QB- they have scored 10 at Candy and got 10 points in garbage time to get to 17 vs A&M at home. This will be a close game

Show Me 20 Magnolia 16

Tigers 20, Dawgs 13. Could be a bigger gap if we can't stop the run with eight in the box or if Zollers starts finding his marks.

Here is what is going to take place and we will either win or lose.

Que Sera, Sera

Fine I?ll be the one that picks the Maroon and White.

Dogs 24. Tigers 17

It's a shootout and we will win a shootout. This only happens if we actually throw the intermediate route like we did verse Texas. State 41-31

Black & Gold Boogers 34,
Worst 4th Down Decisions, Play Calls, & Execution in the League (by a 17ing mile) 20







ETA: Execution. Lebby has a lot of upside but I'm afraid his fatal flaw over his career is going to be 4th down. I hope not, but he makes it worse by kind of channeling JOMO when he defends it too.

I believe this will be a low scoring defensive game. Field position will be at a premium.
Starkvegas Dawgs 21 Show Me Tigers 13
Shapen 175 yds passing
Taylor 2 TD?s
Booth 75 yds rushing

If we approach this game with half a brain, we can win this game. 3rd string QB just stack up to stop the run and make him beat you. 21 will be enough to win this one; if we play it good, 17 may be.

Hopefully the 3rd string QB will not have the game of his life. I agree with you 100%.

Quit your whining and put on your maroon glasses. Mizzou doesnt have a shot of putting more than 20 up and guess what? Regardless of the QB were gettin 30.

DAWGS-34
Mizzou-20

I forfeit my tiebreakers bc Im the only one seeing this game clearly.

I?ll take our guys if we play man all night. Dawgs by 7

28-21
