We’re less than one week out from Mizzou’s opening game of the 2023 campaign. A starting quarterback has not been named.
This is a good thing!
Conventional wisdom suggests that the more stability you have going into the season, the quicker you can hit the ground running. This is certainly what Eli Drinkwitz must have been thinking when he named Brady Cook the starting quarterback less than a week into the fall camp of 2022. That or, “Ah, hell, my quarterbacks suck.” Either way, giving the offense confidence that Cook would be lining up behind center allowed them to get a full camp of reps developing the relationship between their quarterback and everyone else on the field.
