It’s no secret Mizzou’s defense looks different under first-year defensive coordinator Blake Baker, who implemented an aggressive play-calling style to transform the Tigers’ defense from the hunted to the hunter.
Behind a front seven littered with transfers and veterans, as well as a secondary that continues to improve alongside the implementation of Baker’s ‘STAR’ position, the results are decidedly better than last season’s defensive disaster.
