Even with a fully healthy K1, we still won't beat good SEC teams

Not when you've got a head coach telling you that we're fine at OL, and the improvement there is a night and day difference

Our OL is still bottom 3 in the league, and we will not be able to beat a team like this until it significantly improves

These types of games always rip off the home team glasses for everyone. Looking back at the previous three games, most of our scores were long distance bombs. We had few consistent time running 11 play drives. We don’t have a line that can do that.

18 yards rushing. 2 interceptions. 2 lost fumbles.

Show me a team that has ever won against a good opponent when pointing both barrels at their feet and repeatedly pulling the trigger.
They play tight when they are overwhelmed by the other team’s strength and athleticism. That is called nerves.

Like I said in another thread, our roster is the most razor thin in the entire conference. The drop off from our starters to backups is monumental for all but a couple positions
Yep… late to the NIL game and had a huge hole to dig out of…we are catching up on the NIL game, hopefully it will bring depth In the offseason

Not being able to run against Bama's 5-man box told the entire story.

Lubby can be "addicted to speed" but he better get "addicted to winning in the trenches".
We’re like the monster truck Scooby Doo and Alabama is gravedigger. Can’t have one without the other.

We have never had the talent on the line to compete with Bama or the others haves. It’s not just a Lebby thing.
It’s been a thing since college football started making money. About 50-60 years. As much as things have changed, nothing has changed.

If K1 cannot run, he’s not a dynamic QB and we will not score much. He’s got a great arm but he’s basically Will Rogers with a cannon if he is hobbled.
His accuracy has GOT to improve. We've seen instances of that this year and it didn't hurt us in those games but it damn sure did today.

Fluff had three straight 100 yard games coming into this one. We are a much better rushing team when healthy than we showed today.
Missouri has held Baugh, the second coming of Earl Cambell, to 12 yards on 9 carries. Our line is better than we give them credit for. We didn't have any runners for them to block for today. Plenty of times Kamario had open field in front of him, but a body that wasn't working.

It was a Murphy’s Law, burn the tape kind of game in every way. I will be surprised if we look this bad again the rest of the year.
