COLUMBIA, Mo. — This college football season’s most overinflated quarterback competition seemed to end here Thursday night.
It was hardly an offseason old.
Brady Cook is Missouri’s starting quarterback, Tigers coach Eli Drinkwitz sounds prepared to declare sooner or later, and sooner might as well be later considering the dots Drinkwitz came oh so close to connecting after Mizzou’s 35-10 win against South Dakota.
Whatever shot QB challenger Sam Horn may have had to change Drinkwitz’s opinion seemed to fade into the Boone County night before Memorial Stadium’s lights went dark.
That’s assuming this thing wasn’t really decided before fall camp wrapped.
