MORGANTOWN, W.Va. • Greetings from Milan Puskar Stadium, home of the West Virginia Mountaineers and site of today’s Mizzou-WVU season opener. The couches are free of flames—for now.
A couple pregame notes:
Starting defensive end Jordan Harold has switched jersey numbers from No. 87 to 55.
True freshmen who made the trip: Receiver Dimetrios Mason, running back Damarea Crockett, quarterback Micah Wilson, offensive linemen Trystan Castillo and Tre’Vour Simms, defensive lineman Markell Utsey, linebacker Cale Garrett, cornerbacks DeMarkus Acy and Christian Holmes and kicker Tucker McCann.
When Missouri took some walk-through snaps during warmups, the skill players on offense with the first unit were quarterback Drew Lock, running back Ish Witter, receivers J’Mon Moore, Johnathon Johnson and Emanuel Hall and tight end Sean Culkin.
