What's On

Nate Brown's out for a while! Who's stepping up at receiver? J'Mon Moore, for one, and freshman Dimetrios Mason for another.

Meanwhile, how's Drew Lock doing?

Missouri will need leadership from its least experienced position groups.

Mizzou's OL "veterans" have plenty to prove

We’ve heard a lot about the upside of Mizzou linemen like Kevin Pendleton, Paul Adams, and Alec Abeln, yet they evidently weren’t regarded well enough to see the field for a line desperate for help.

Post-Dispatch (BenFred): After taking lumps last season, Mizzou's Lock looks confident

Lock completed 49 percent of his passes. He threw four touchdowns and eight interceptions. The Tigers went 5-7, 1-7 in the SEC.

He says he's better for it.

"What Heupel and I talked about a lot was just confidence," Lock said. "Last year didn't' go very well. Everyone has the lumps in the road. It's what you do after the lumps in the road that make you the player you are. I knew I had to come in here chest out, knowing I'm the guy. Since I started doing that, it's made things a lot easier."
