COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri’s preseason camp started in a way that’s the inverse of most drives in a football game: The Tigers began in the red zone.
With schematic work on the docket for the next few weeks of practices, Mizzou held its first practice of the preseason Monday in its indoor facility, setting the stage for the part of the field that will become the first priority of the season.
“We will be very smart in how we start,” coach Eli Drinkwitz said. “We always start in the red zone to try to get our players acclimated to fall camp and try to keep them as safe and as healthy as possible as we build up and prepare for Week 1 versus Murray State.
