Missouri drops a 9-6 decision to Georgia, falls to 4-3

Keeping Up with Kentrell: History Could Be Made

Senior linebacker Kentrell Brothers continues to anchor the Missouri defense en route to a career season.

Almost 0 yards/play on 1st down, almost won

Missouri had a 6 percent rushing success rate and averaged barely 1 yards per ply on first down and still almost beat Georgia. That's ... good? Depressing, but good?

D-line making LBs' job easy

Kentrell Brothers credits Missouri's defensive line for putting him in position to lead the nation in tackles. "They make it so easy for us to get in the gaps."

The After Action Report: Georgia

We're running out of ways to talk about this Missouri football team. Defense awesome. Offense bad. The defense is coming closer to scoring touchdowns than the offense.

OL changes? MAYBE!

In Monday media sessions, Missouri offensive line coach AJ Ricker and offensive coordinator Josh Henson suggested the Tigers would be experimenting with different offensive line combinations after all. Mizzou fans might get their wish!

SEC acknowledges two incorrect calls in Mizzou-Georgia game

NEW DEPTH CHART: Minimal changes

Missouri has released its game notes and depth chart for Saturday's game against Vanderbilt (3:00 p.m. CT, SEC Network). There's been only one minor change.

Drew Lock averaged a healthy 7.7 yards/att. when UGA blitzed

All hail the Mizzou defense

Missouri's defense did everything but score in the Tigers' 9-6 loss to Georgia on Saturday. In fact, they almost DID score.

Mandatory happy things

Missouri's offensive line will determine the Tigers' bowl fate in 2015 and their ceiling in 2016. Also: as frustrating as the 9-6 loss to Georgia was, there were quite a few encouraging signs, even on offense.

Mizzou's offense fails its defense again

Missouri held Georgia to nine points and 298 yards, but the offense was yet again a no-show, and the Bulldogs were able to secure a 9-6 win on Homecoming in Athens.

Pregamin' Georgia

Missouri head to Athens in an attempt to upset the Dawgs. We have everything you need to know about the game, plus some extra fun all inside.

The Mizzou-Georgia preview

Georgia is a pretty comfortable favorite against Missouri this weekend, but the Tigers could give themselves a chance by landing some early blows and turning an anxious crowd into a disadvantage.

Drew Lock's fate is set

Drew Lock is a future Heisman winner and No. 1 pick. It's obvious. I mean, just look at that hair.

Step 2 to beating UGA: Pass on 'em. Uh oh.

Georgia's pass defense has suffered quite a few breakdowns in 2015, to the point where coordinator Jeremy Pruitt has backed off the pass rush to give the DBs help. Unfortunately, there's no guarantee that Missouri can capitalize on that weakness.

Recruiting misses have hurt the OL

PowerMizzou walked through Missouri's recent offensive line recruiting to figure out where things went wrong for the Tigers up front. The biggest culprit: the 2012 class that featured two impact decommitments.

Step 1 to beating UGA: Force the Dawgs to pass

Georgia's run game should remain mostly strong with Sony Michel in for injured Nick Chubb, but Michel's inefficiency could rear its ugly head if it results in a few more passing downs for quarterback Greyson Lambert.

The switch has flipped for Donavin Newsom

Missouri's Donavin Newsom is playing the best football of his career, Kentrell Brothers is still everywhere, and punter Corey Fatony wins a national award after his fantastic performance against Florida.

Mizzou doomed by inefficiency (again)

Drew Lock had a lot on his shoulders against Florida, being asked to make a lot of reads and take a lot of hits. So maybe that's reason enough for why Mizzou should have run more. But it wasn't going to make a difference -- the run didn't work either

No blitzing necessary

Florida didn't need to blitz to get pressure on Drew Lock in Missouri's loss to the Gators. Also: Mizzou's defense is playing awfully well, and some Tiger freshmen are moving up on the depth chart.

SEC Power Poll: Things are Fine

In the SEC, everyone is doing fine. Some teams are more fine, while others are less so. South Carolina is bad, though.

NEW DEPTH CHART: Hall and Hilton moving up

Freshman receivers Cam Hilton and Emanuel Hall are moving up on Missouri's depth chart.

"Oh crap. That's a grown man hitting me.'"

Drew Lock and the Missouri offense talk about growing pains and taking hits. Lock: "Shoot, I'm a fresh body, man. Use me while you can. It's not that bad actually. A couple of them are like, 'Oh, crap. That's a grown man hitting me."

Present vs. future

Missouri still has plenty to play for in 2015 following a 21-3 home loss to Florida, but the future tense is certainly happier than the present tense in Columbia.
