Over the offseason, Mizzou football had a lot of replacing to do, and it wasn’t just individual players.
Cody Schrader, Javon Foster and Xavier Delgado were all fantastic in their own right. But along with offensive coordinator Kirby Moore and the rest of the offensive line, they helped form one of the most lethal rushing attacks in the country.
A new and improved zone blocking scheme took the Tigers to new heights; it effectively utilized the athleticism along the offensive line as well as Schrader’s ability to hit open running lanes like a torpedo. It helped Schrader rush for over 1,600 yards and was a big reason why Mizzou was named a Joe Moore Award Semifinalist for the best offensive line in college football.
