COLUMBIA, MO. • Over the next two weeks we’re counting down to the start of Mizzou football preseason camp, the Tigers’ third season under Barry Odom. Camp kicks off Aug. 3.
This week, we’ll take a daily dive into the team’s five most important pieces on defense and then move to the offense next week.
We start at the back, as in the back end of a defense that last year allowed an SEC-worst 254.4 passing yards per game. The Tigers will likely go with returning starters DeMarkus Acy and Adam Sparks at cornerback.
