And you've got a former Tiger fighting for minor leaguers...

Monday media day

Gary Pinkel: "We're working real hard to improve our offense. There's nothing magical here. I've been there before."

— David Morrison (@DavidCMorrison) October 20, 2014

Pinkel said Harold Brantley's up to 297, 300 pounds. Said he, Sheldon Richardson move like linebackers at that size.

Craig Kuligowski on Harold Brantley's weight gain: "Every bad eating habit, he’s picked up. Me, I’d be 500 pounds, but he looks good."

Dave Steckel on the takeaway business cards he gave to the defense: "subliminal thoughts. Like McDonald's commercials."

...and not so fun

Pinkel says #Mizzou is doing different things with tempo on offense which has contributed to delay penalties. Says they have to coach better

As I re-watch the game, realizing how much Missouri wanted to throw to Sasser on slants. But Florida did a good job disguising coverages.

— Pete Scantlebury (@PeteScantlebury) October 20, 2014

UF would fake a blitz up the middle with its MLB and then drop back into coverage, and roll another LB over the middle to take away slant

Hey, it's been a rough few weeks for Maty Mauk, but he's got two more wins over Florida than Mr. 509.
