A New Week.
It’s a new week for Mizzou Football, as the Tigers need to get rid of the bad taste in their mouths after what happened Saturday at Kansas State.
After a much-anticipated Week 2 that ended with big-time disappointment, an 11 o’clock game against an FCS team doesn’t generate excitement — but at the very least, it’s almost a guaranteed win on the schedule.
The game still needs to be played though — so let’s go 1-0.
1-0 Mentality.

Don’t expect any changes, however, as it will be the same depth chart as Weeks 1 and 2 — meaning Brady Cook is still the starting quarterback. And sticking with the same offensive game plan?
No changes to Mizzou's depth chart. Same as Week 1 & 2.

Drinkwitz: "No reservations about what we're doing on offense schematically."

The real intrigue in Saturday’s game is will Sam Horn play? And how to get Luther Burden more involved? (Not sure I get this from Drinkwitz, however).
Drinkwitz says Mizzou needs to find more ways to get Luther Burden more touches but also need to limit his snaps. He played 65 snaps at K-State, says that's about 20 more than he should have played.

Luther Burden punt returner sounds good to me:
Drinkwitz says punt returner position will be a competition this week. Kris Abrams-Draine has been returning punts so far, with Luther Burden behind him on the depth chart.

Moving on, maybe the biggest news out of Tuesday was that Mizzou’s secondary gets some depth help — as Miami transfer cornerback Marcus Clarke has been ruled eligible for this season. Clarke’s experience and familiarity under Blake Baker should be a plus.
Mizzou DC Blake Baker confirms that cornerback Marcus Clarke has been cleared, eligible to play. He spent the last two years at Miami, part-time starter in 2021. Clarke believes he'll help the secondary this year.

From Parker Gillam’s notebook — Blake Baker says “I foresee him (Clarke) being able to help us this year.”
