Highlights from Mizzou football's unorthodox spring game
The Missouri Tigers took the indoor field Saturday after cold temperatures forced the Tigers inside for their annual spring game.
TV was not available for the game, but it’s reported that Mizzou’s defense under Blake Baker played well Saturday. Lineman Darius Robinson still wasn’t satisfied though, saying “We did good, but we can do better. We want to be the No. 1 defense in the nation. We did some good things, but we can definitely continue to grow and build upon what we’ve been working on.”
Here are some highlights from Missouri’s defense Saturday, including a pick-6 from JUCO transfer Triston Newson.

Speaking of QBs, Sam Horn was all over the place Saturday according to reports. The 2nd year signal caller made some plays with his legs several times Saturday.

Is it football season yet?
Why in the helk this couldn’t have been rescheduled for nexr weekend when its warmer is beyond me. Its like they know they’re gonna suck and don’t want the fans to know so they can still get that season ticket money. Any other SEC teams not gonna have fanscat their spring game?
You are only allow a certain number fo organized practices and the Spring game is usually the final one. To delay it would be to shut down organized practices for a week then restart for one game.
