Spring games are nothing if not misleading.
Two years ago, redshirt freshman T.J. Warren started Mizzou’s Black & Gold Game at cornerback and fared pretty well, leading us to believe the Tigers had a potential four-year starter on the perimeter. A year later, he was a backup outside linebacker. Now he’s transferred.
Last year, backup QB Jack Lowary drastically outplayed Micah Wilson, completing seven of 11 passes for 113 yards and two touchdowns and leading us to believe we knew who Drew Lock’s backup would be. It turned out to be Wilson.
