ATHENS — Eli Drinkwitz was quick to point out Missouri led the No. 1-ranked team in the nation for more than 5 minutes in the first quarter on the road.

Eli.....think of it this way: UGA is a steam locomotive at the station....as it begins to leave the station, steam pressure builds and the massive iron wheels begin to turn to gain momentum. At first they spin, then catch, then spin, then catch...until forward momentm catches up with the steam pressure being applied to the wheels...and a smoother acceleration is attained. That was UGA yesterday, Sir. It was not two plays, nor three, it was the steam generated momentun bringing UGA up to speed and then the game was over, Sir. 43 to 6 is not a small margin...! It is major locomotive momentum.
I’ve noticed how **** opposing teams/HCs act these days when playing a #1 ranked team. 1) Players are more mouthy than ever before, 2) HCs will do anything short of selling their souls to score a meaningless fg or TD, even calling multiple timeouts with 3 seconds left. All while our HC goes out of his way to make sure we don’t score late, 3) somebody (ADs?) lets network know inane records to be mentioned like, “UF needed that late TD to keep their no-shutout streak going to 400+“. Lol congrats.
Not to pile on but the thought that momentum was ever in Mizzou’s favor has to be tailored to try and give fans and players anything remotely good out of a thorough butt whooping. The games are always 4 quarters and what happens in a tiny moment in time can create shifts and momentum but not when you lose by 30+ points. Best to tip your hat, soothe the wounds, grab a few takeaways, and hope you don’t meet that bear again.
