When reciever are dropping balls it's tough to find rhythm. The quick slants and outs were there when we threw them.........but Henson failed to stay with those throws. Yes Mauk missed some throws, but it's not all on him. 42 yards on the ground..........42 total yards for an All-American all purpose player Marcus Murphy. He had 20 yards of rushing and his 1000 yard rushing partner who rushed for 21 yards in that game.
I didn't realize when a QB scrambles and makes plays on the run that its now a bad thing. Had Mizzou won, you would be saying Mauk scrambled for his life and made huge key plays when he needed to, keeping drives alive. He scrambled and made some big plays. That's what he is supposed to do. 5 dropped passes in the first half alone. When Mizzou had the ball on the 1 yard line in the second half, White dropped a pass, Murphy couldn't manage a a 1 yard run, and Henson couldn't dial up a play like rolling out Mauk to get a TD.........but let's put the blame on the QB. Mauk might not have played his best game, but the loss isn't on him with a terrible game.
Dropped balls for first downs, dropped balls for TD's, dropped balls that ended drives, 2-3 more dropped balls in the second half, no run game at all, and poor play calling all game long leads you to the loss. Had those recievers caught those passes, Mauk goes 25 of 34, for 350+, yards 2 TD's, no interceptions. Those are stats that you think damn, how did we lose? 8-9 dropped passes and no run game killed Mizzou. Not doing what Bama did with quick 5 yard passes killed us. Mauk threw for more yards than he has in ANY SEC game this season against the best D in the country........and you think he had a terrible game because folks couldn't catch the damn ball?? You can't make this chit up.
