Missouri loses form, struggles against No. 11 Florida

Last week, Missouri thought it had solved its offensive struggles thanks to true freshman quarterback Drew Lock.

Saturday night, a 21-3 loss to No. 11 Florida, in front of a 70,767-person homecoming crowd, proved that was certainly not the case.

The offensive line struggled to protect the 18-year-old quarterback, as the stingy Florida defensive line dominated the inside all night. Despite recording just three sacks, the Gators forced five hurry-ups and knocked Lock down relentlessly.

Senior center Evan Boehm put the majority of the offensive struggles on his shoulders. As a captain, he said it was his job to protect his young quarterback.
