We barely beat Nova and Army at home and now are playing legit teams and are 2-2. Thank God for those cupcakes or we might go winless. I don't like being so negative but this team is two years away from being competitive.

D playing with Pride where was this from the beginning.

Pro
They held Navy to 7 points in the second half. They must have made some adjustments.
Surprise Navy is much better than a young Missouri team especially on offense.

They didn't quit on D holding Navy when it would have been easy to lay down.
That has to bode well going down the road.
Con
Not kicking the FG early was huge from a strategic standpoint.
That was an inexperienced decision that haunted us the entire game especially.
late. 28-21 with 7minutes to play gives the offensive co-Ordinator more options and put pressure on their defense. One possession allows you to run what_ever you want.Our QB is decent but put into a must pass situation takes some of his skills away.
The late Navy Drive in the first half was a low point on defense and probably cost us the game. You can't allow a team 7 in that situation 3 was no problem.
Again that a one possession game.
Thats a 7 point swing
So after the on side kick recovery were down 24-21 with the ball in Navy territory
At that point with the crowd rocking its 60-40 that we win the game.
That's how close we came to beating a very good team.

We have another brutal game next week , our schedule is pretty difficult so improvement might not get results.
I'm actually more optimistic this week than I was last week.

Yeah realistically we are still a year away, BYU on the road is going to be real tough not to mention they will be fired up being at home and coming off a loss. Diaco better be on his game Friday night. We need to play these teams if we wanna get better in the long run. Im sick of moral victories but I realize this is going to be a long process.
