COLUMBIA, Mo. — Spring practice has raised the curtain on Missouri’s brewing quarterback competition, but don’t expect a resolution during the first act — this battle is likely to continue into summer camp.
The Tigers are replacing three-year starter Brady Cook and have four quarterbacks on the roster vying for the starting job. They’ve been rotating practice repetitions significantly during Mizzou’s first few spring practices, with any given day’s hierarchy sometimes determined by which signal-caller wins a round of rock-paper-scissors games.
MU coach Eli Drinkwitz, entering his sixth season, is in no rush to choose his starter for a season that is nearly six months away from starting.
