It’s possible no cornerback duo is closer than the two starters in Columbia.
Senior DeMarkus Acy and junior Christian Holmes paired up last season and will be back as the starting tandem for the Tigers. That’s good for the chemistry of the defense.
Fun little exchange I had with #Mizzou's Christian Holmes about the relationship he's developed with fellow DB DeMarkus Acy… they're close teammates and even closer friends, which helps on the field. pic.twitter.com/ZSlcFg6f4O
Acy and Holmes give the Tigers a pair of reliable starters who could match up against the wide receivers in the SEC.
