Jake Bentley’s stats in 2 career games against Missouri:
40-56, 441 Yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs
That’s 2 games of mistake free football.
I get the excitement of Scarnecchia playing well. And I get that Bentley hasn’t been great this season. But let’s not get unrealistic and think Missouri was a “big game” Jake typically plays bad in and wonder if he could play mistake free when he hasn’t made a mistake in 2 games against them. Does that guarantee anything, no. But there is no way of knowing.
Also, Scarnecchia very well threw the game ending Interceptjon on the final drive but it was dropped. Threw a screen to edwards right into the DL’a hands - dropped. Wasn’t mistake free, we just got away with it. Sometimes that happens, sometimes it doesn’t.
I love how accurate Scarnecchia was and how fast he made decisions. But we’ve seen this against Missouri before. Hope we’ll see a good performance next week but it’ll be more difficult.
