The Crimson Tide will play its lone October home game this Saturday
against their SEC East foe Missouri for Homecoming. The Tigers faced Bama only once during the
regular season since moving from the Big 12 to the SEC in 2011. The only other time these two clashed was in
2014 in the SEC Championship Game and lost to Bama 42-13.
According to Rock
M Nation, the official site of the Mizzou Tigers, there’s a little problem
with their star QB Drew Lock. He hasn’t thrown a TD pass since Week 3 against
Purdue.
Some are pointing fingers at Offensive Coordinator Derek
Dooley. The beef against Dooley is the Tigers’ offense lacks rhythm. Lock has nowhere to
throw more often than not and when he does have an open receiver, he’s missing
them more often than Mizzou fans are used to seeing.
Dooley needs to step up his game.
Please fire Barry Odom. This isn’t working. #Mizzou— Carson Cornelius (@carsoncornelius) October 6, 2018
Bama’s defensive back
Deionte Thompson wasn’t happy with the results of their win over the Bacon Bits
of Arkansas last week saying, “We did not play to Alabama’s standard today.”
The Tide will have a
chance to improve against Mizzou. There
were a couple of times in last week’s game that Coach Saban used a formation
that had Tua Tagovailoa and Jalen Hurts on the field at the same time during
the first half and the Bama fans went bonkers.
Coach said he has plans to use it more saying, “I think because of these
two guys’ skill sets it could present some problems for defensive teams.”
Hoo boy! That should scare the beejeebers out their
opponents.
Dominant against bad teams and not good enough against decent
teams, the Tigers are struggling. They’ve failed to beat any other opponent
with a winning record. Just look at

And…since it’s
Homecoming, they’re bringing back one of the greatest traditions in college
football. During the fourth quarter, “Dixieland Delight” will
be added to the stadium playlist.
Traditions matter in football. It’s
about time this one was back to stay.
