Go Tigers!

We only lose Murphy at running back and steward who was injured this year comes back. That gives hansborough, steward, abbington, witter, strong ( fr probably will go juco for a bit)), and doherty (fr may declare for mlb draft). We are seriously loaded at running back and i think i am missing a couple others. Wide receiver is a major concern IMO. Defense will be good again.

Mizzou looked pretty good. Not many SEC teams winning their bowl games this year.

It was a decent win for Mizzou in an otherwise disastrous day for the SEC. Not good at all.

This season was about sustaining success....we lost too much and Maty Mauk was too inconsistent to challenge teams like Alabama and Georgia. But nonetheless, still a good season when you can get to 11 wins. . This team felt a lot worse than last year, but the results were essentially the same (SEC east win, along with a SECCG blowout and a bowl win.) That, despite this they still only regressed by one game, is a huge testament to Pinkel and the rest of his staff.

Next year shouldn't be a lot different, honestly. We'll lose Golden and Ray, but Brantley and Augusta should keep the d-line strong. The offensive line will be experienced, along with RBs and (for better or worse) QB. WR is obviously going to be the major question for the second straight year. I expect a lot more ugly wins and a few ugly losses. The SEC east being what it is, should be attainable. Tennessee will get hype after their bowl win, and Georgia always does, but neither should approach elite status. It should all be on the table again next season.

The next thing is to figure out how to win the conference itself, which still seems like a pretty significant leap even after two east titles.
