COLUMBIA, Mo. • Time for some takeaways from Mizzou’s Monday media session, and we’re focused on the offensive line:
• We know the offensive line is not playing well. What’s the problem? Offensive line coach A.J. Ricker was hit with forms of that question several times Monday. Among his answers: It’s not a schematic problem. Missouri has blockers in place for opponents’ defenders. It’s not a matter of getting whipped from tackle to tackle. It’s typically one player along the line who gets off his block, Ricker said. And it’s not always the same player.
