COLUMBIA, Mo. — Uncertainties linger less than two weeks away from the start of Missouri’s football season. Can Brady Cook step into the quarterback role? Do the Tigers have a running back to replace Tyler Badie’s production? Will a third coordinator in three years fix the defense?
There are no questions about one spot on Eli Drinkwitz’s team. Harrison Mevis can still kick footballs a long way straight through the uprights.
His preseason All-Southeastern Conference snub notwithstanding, there’s an easy case to make that pound for pound — all 254 of them — Mevis is Mizzou’s most outstanding player.
