Mailbag
PowerMizzou: Tiger Mailbag (Free)vvn8bs asks: Why do people continue to ask if the spread offense can be successful in the SEC when three of the last six BCS champions were SEC teams running some variation of the spread offense (Florida 2006, 2008 and Auburn 2010)?
GD: For the same reason people are saying Missouri will flounder and A&M will flourish in the SEC. People are slow to accept change in sports. But to be fair, the teams you mentioned had two of the greatest, most dynamic college quarterbacks in the history of the game. Is James Franklin equal to Tim Tebow or Cam Newton? If he is, sure, Missouri will put up plenty of points in the SEC. But I don't even think Franklin himself would proclaim we know enough to put him on that level at this point in time. [...]
I don't think anyone is making the argument a spread offense can't win in the SEC. However, a spread offense ALONE isn't going to win. There are going to be games you have to win 20-17 in the SEC much more often than you have to do that in the Big 12. Over the past few years, Missouri hasn't done a lot of that (but they've done it more recently). From 2003-09, Mizzou won just seven games when it scored less than 30. In the last two years, the Tigers have matched that number, winning seven times with fewer than 30 points. So that's a positive trend.

Through the years, I've taught myself only to worry about losing Mizzou players who are drafted in the first 20 rounds of the draft. You can drive yourself crazy otherwise. Well ... it appears that two Tigers drafted in the fifth and 20th rounds have already signed, both with the Braves. Not what I hoped to see. If only Eric Garcia had been picked in the 21st, I guess...
