Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz isn’t giving anything away in regard to the Tigers’ backup quarterback situation. Drinkwitz recently fielded a question on the topic and gave a short, non-telling answer.

Drinkwitz was specifically asked what would happen if starting quarterback Brady Cook were to have to miss a snap or an extended period of time.

“Long and short, I’m not gonna tell you,” Drinkwitz replied.

There are a lot of ways Mizzou could go about that decision. The two clear ways that stand out are to put in veteran Jack Abraham, who showed upside at Mississippi State practice and in Southern Miss games or to start developing Sam Horn — something that could be advantageous now that 2022 is very much a lost season for the Tigers.

How the Tigers move forward after this “rebuilding” year will be something to watch.
