Can Hoch raise his game?
Matt Hoch was a lovely complement to Sheldon Richardson in 2012. How will he fare as the new leader at the tackle position?

Who else finds a niche at DE?
The top three on the defensive ends totem pole are pretty obvious. Who's No. 4? No. 5? And what do we make of these bigger youngsters?
-

Ray's got the genes
Shane Ray was an interesting, aggressive reserve in 2012; in 2013, he's getting groomed to become the No. 1 end in 2014.

Sam continues to be steady, underrated
If every Mizzou defender had Michael Sam's motor, this would be a top-10 D.

Ealy has to be The Man
Ealy's ceiling is the highest on the defense, and the closer he comes to reaching it, the higher he makes Mizzou's ceiling as well.

QBs and desserts
Mizzou fans act like spoiled children during one down year, and my BMI is somewhere north of 120.

Does experience = improvement on OL interior?
Thanks to injuries, Mizzou had neither experience nor depth in the middle of the line last year. It has both this year, but is there enough pure talent to lead to offensive improvement?
-
August 9, 2013
Mizzou seasoned, serviceable at tackle
Perhaps the depth still isn't what it should be, but Mizzou has some interesting names, new and old, at offensive tackle.
-
August 9, 2013
Boehm is already the anchor
Mizzou's most highly touted line recruit moves from guard to center and becomes the anchor of a scarred line looking to rebound.
-
August 8, 2013
Waters leads, Reese follows
Despite changing roles, Eric Waters has shown a willingness to do whatever is asked of him in an attempt to see the field. Meanwhile, Jason Reese could see a rather immediate role himself.
-
August 8, 2013
Expectations are high for Culkin
Culkin could provide an efficiency aspect that Mizzou lacked in 2012.
-
August 7, 2013
Who else snares some targets in 2013?
There is probably room for one more receiver to fit in the rotation. Who will it be?
-
August 7, 2013
What's Bud Sasser's niche?
He seems decent in every role and great in none, which means that he might basically fill in the gaps.
-
August 7, 2013
All Jimmie Hunt does is catch touchdowns
Hopefully his consistency and blocking improve enough for him to see the field more. Because wow, has he been tantalizing with the ball in his hands.
-
August 7, 2013
Washington can stretch the field
He came to Columbia with an incredible back story that made you root for him from the start. Entering his fifth year, he's a captain.
-
August 7, 2013
Lucas could be a hell of a No. 2
Marcus Lucas' 2012 failures were ill-timed and very visible; but his body of work suggests that he can still be a tremendous asset for a good passing game.

White, Steward search for a role
If Mizzou desires a bigger back, there are a couple of interesting ones further down the depth chart.
-
August 6, 2013
Hansbrough forces his way into the rotation
The sophomore looks to build on a tremendous spring.
-
August 6, 2013
How many ways can Murphy provide value?
The junior is one of the best return men and No. 3 running backs in the country.

Printz and Hosick wait their turn
The passer-who's-an-athlete and the athlete-who's-a-passer could make the 2014 quarterbacks race pretty interesting.
-
August 5, 2013
Berkstresser and the bounce back
The sophomore struggled in an impossible situation a year ago.
-
August 5, 2013
Mauk vs. comparisons
It's easy to be excited about the Mauk era, whether you think it will start in 2013, 2014, or beyond.
