Keeping the quarterback upright. It’s important. You know this. I know this. Everyone watching the games on Saturday knows this.

Missouri fans have seen both sides of the coin in recent years. The Tigers finished 11th in the SEC in sacks allowed per game back in 2015. You may remember that as the season that, well, left something to be desired offensively.
The Tigers hired Josh Heupel in 2016 and the offense suddenly opened up and the pass blocking success improved immediately. The Tigers finished with the fewest sacks allowed per game in the SEC in 2016 and 2017 under Heupel.
