Locked On Mizzou - Daily Podcast On Missouri Tigers Football & Basketball Locked On Podcast Network, John Miller

Your definition of "luck" depends on if you're looking at big moments or the big picture. Mizzou's odds say it is undervalued vs. Ole Miss. Danario Alexander had the single best receiver season ever for the Tigers. Plus, kickers aren't THAT important, and I'm going to prove it.

In retrospect, Jeremy Maclin's number of touches was astonishing. Time to abolish the SEC Championship Game? My favorite Week 1 bet. To my eyes, there is no evidence that "establishing the run" helps a team run effectively.

Eli Drinkwitz has put together one of the best assistant coaching staffs in the country. Quinn Murphy is another Mizzou quarterback offer.

Being picked sixth in the SEC isn't an insult, but only having one player on All-SEC is. Blake Baker was good for Missouri, but the new players are a bigger question mark than Corey Batoon, the new defensive coordinator. Eli Drinkwitz lets us know where Mizzou is leaning on Cayden Green, Marcus Bryant, and the offensive line. Plus, is it harder than an SEC Championship than the College Football Playoff?

On "the situational master", new defensive coordinator Corey Batoon. The Mizzou safeties and their usage will tell me a lot about the new defense's structure. Plus, (SILLY HYPOTHETICAL ALERT) what if the Tigers moved their football stadium to Boonville or another city near Columbia?

Cook admits Kansas State was a "must-win" last season. Maybe Eli Drinkwitz will commit to a running-back committee after all. Luther Burden's personal Heisman campaign. Plus, Cody Schrader is a smart draft pick for TWO organizations.
