Near the end of a recent practice, as the Missouri football team splits into two and goes to opposite end zones of its indoor practice space, junior quarterback Drew Lock offers a glimpse of why he has become the nation’s leader in touchdown passes.
Lock, who is finishing one of the most prolific seasons in Southeastern Conference history, sprints toward an end zone. He has decided to race his offensive linemen. He looks back at them, and he raises his hands when he gets to the end zone. He points two fingers skyward, like a sprinter breaking tape at the finish line.
