retards that don't understand football beyond a surface level. If you're upset about what has transpired with the QB situation, there are a lot of people to blame and Drink isn't one of them.

Cook did pretty much everything he could have done last night from an execution standpoint. He scored a TD on the only designed QB run that was called. He threw with much improved velocity on the couple of vertical throws he made (bender to Miller, hole shot to Burden). No, all of the throws weren't perfect but he threw catchable balls, as evidenced by his stat line.

"But he didn't throw the ball vertically enough!!!!!"

Um, well USD played to limit explosive plays and make the offense execute 10+ play drives to score. That's exactly what you do when you're outgunned. Force the offense to play pitch and catch in the short/intermediate game and hope for misses/penalties/drops. The vertical opportunities were limited based on coverage. You just don't throw the ball vertically just to do it. There will be times when defenses play press man or tight quarters and force Cook to beat them down the field. We'll see if he's good enough to do it.

"Horn got screwed!!!!!"

The plan was to play him the entire second half and at least the third quarter with starters. The plan was sound, but sometimes **** just goes haywire in football. The defense ****ed around on the first drive coming out and allowed USD to eat up 9 minutes of the clock, converting multiple third and fourth downs. That killed probably at least five opportunities to throw the ball. Horn had a nice throw over the middle but his lack of touch and ****ty placement led to an INT and a short field for the defense. After that, the goal became just to shorten and win the game. Horn didn't get the opportunities to throw the ball because of himself and the defense, not Drink. He also missed at least two pull opportunities that should have generated solid runs for him.

Be happy Brady played well and we got out of the game injury free.

sorry to be so direct, but this board is chock full of - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/1 08:40:58
     Cook clearly played better. Hope Horn does better next week - go tigers MU - 9/1 09:28:14
     Mizzou has been fortunate over the years to have some great - jeepdad MU - 9/1 09:25:41
     Good points. Cook is our second best player on offense only - Fourth and Long MU - 9/1 09:23:33
          I would probably say Foster, but it's arguable(nm) - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/1 09:27:15
     So to summarize. Cook is a limited QB who can’t make many - TigerMatt STL - 9/1 09:20:57
          You're misinterpreting "big play" as yardage gains - zoomer KSU - 9/1 09:23:14
               he averaged 10 yards a completion - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/1 09:24:01
                    Horn averaged 18 yards a completion - zoomer KSU - 9/1 09:26:52
                         oh, we're arguing that now? - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/1 09:30:50
                              Are big yardage plays good? (nm) - zoomer KSU - 9/1 09:32:14
                                   of course they are - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/1 09:35:12
                                        We’ve seen this story before. The offense did not generate - TigerMatt STL - 9/1 09:38:10
                                             yes, it wasn't a great offensive performance - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/1 09:44:56
                                                  He played to the best of his abilities and those - TigerMatt STL - 9/1 09:48:47
                                                       oh, so your rage isn't about last night? - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/1 09:50:42
          he made plenty of big plays - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/1 09:22:06
               So if a Cook throws a dump off pass and the receiver gets 15 - TigerMatt STL - 9/1 09:30:55
                    why wouldn't it be? - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/1 09:33:56
                         You give Cook credit for yards the receiver earned.(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 9/1 09:35:00
                              oh, well they should just change how they count passing - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/1 09:36:56
                                   It just shows you are limited in how you look at the offense - TigerMatt STL - 9/1 09:39:15
                                        it tells the most important story - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/1 09:44:22
     "Much improved velocity"...i keep hearing that but i'm not - playhard KC - 9/1 09:10:37
          Agreed, same as last year's opener (nm) - Columbian Gold MU - 9/1 09:24:00
          I saw little improvement - BigDave MU - 9/1 09:15:51
               hard to argue with that.(nm) - jeepdad MU - 9/1 09:29:49
               We need to see what it looks like against a better - playhard KC - 9/1 09:25:16
               IMO, we're basically the same team as last year - Eggs MU - 9/1 09:19:40
                    That's right. 28-3 at the half with a missed FG was a mirage - JimD MU - 9/1 09:25:56
                         We dominated a Sun Belt team in game 1 last year - Eggs MU - 9/1 09:41:24
               LOL, you see what you want to see(nm) - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/1 09:17:46
                    Ditto (nm) - BigDave MU - 9/1 10:16:14
          There were a few passes that likely get picked off - Eggs MU - 9/1 09:13:24
               he threw seven picks last year - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/1 09:19:02
                    Based on the type of QB he is and a credit to him, he - playhard KC - 9/1 09:28:38
                    And 0 the last 6 games - Eggs MU - 9/1 09:22:12
                         yes, limiting turnovers is a huge part of the job(nm) - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/1 09:52:58
                    most of his passes were short checkdowns(nm) - TigerA MU - 9/1 09:20:42
                         oh, okay(nm) - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/1 09:22:55
     The plan was faulty. They should have played quarters. - alwaysright MU - 9/1 09:04:32
          right, cause that would have guaranteed equal opportunity - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/1 09:09:46
               It greatly increases the odds of both guys getting - alwaysright MU - 9/1 09:26:21
     Need to keep giving Horn spot chances to play similar to - Erwin Fletcher STL - 9/1 08:59:24
          GP really only did that with Chase - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/1 09:02:14
               and Outlaw (nm) - SwampTiger MU - 9/1 09:19:11
          I take it you didn't read my full post? - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/1 09:01:19
               I read your whole post and not *****ing(nm) - Erwin Fletcher STL - 9/1 09:04:08
                    so why are you having a hard time understanding - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/1 09:05:03
                         I am not.(nm) - Erwin Fletcher STL - 9/1 14:27:49
     100%. It also didn't help that Horn was indecisive - JimD MU - 9/1 08:54:46
          15 career starts vs. 3 career series - Eggs MU - 9/1 09:09:58
               Sure. As I said, I think Horn will get better - JimD MU - 9/1 09:16:57
                    It only comes with game time action(nm) - tman MU - 9/1 11:00:59
          I think you summed up exactly why the coaching staff - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/1 08:56:40
     manic FMB going to be ultra defensive til Drink gets fired - ChinaTiger KC - 9/1 08:50:39
          So, he’s moved on from Odom?(nm) - tigersailor MU - 9/1 09:01:54
               RE: So, he’s moved on from Odom?(nm) - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/1 09:03:02
                    Well, moving on to current regime is good, realistic even - tigersailor MU - 9/1 09:08:27
                         I trolled hypersensitive dumbphucks - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/1 09:16:21
          RE: manic FMB going to be ultra defensive til Drink gets fired - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/1 08:53:27
          Should he be fired if he plays Horn & we win 5 ? - Nohawks KC - 9/1 08:52:11
               Yeah - ChinaTiger KC - 9/1 08:54:56
                    Probably a great situation for a detractor like you - Nohawks KC - 9/1 08:58:20
                         he is incapable of anything beyond a personal - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/1 09:00:39
                              That's being a douche (nm) - Nohawks KC - 9/1 09:05:50
     Do you think South Dakota's defense, talent wise, limited - Ace AU - 9/1 08:48:11
          I think it was mostly what USD was doing schematically - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/1 08:52:40
          They played 2 deep safeties most of the game. - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/1 08:50:42
               Cook threw for 172 yards, in a half - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/1 08:55:45
                    And a lot of those yards were YAC because he dinked - TigerMatt STL - 9/1 09:16:28
                         apparently you didn't read my full post either - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 9/1 09:20:06
                    Not too shabby!(nm) - tigersailor MU - 9/1 09:02:42
