After a 39-10 loss last month at Alabama, Missouri offensive line coach Brad Davis took a unique approach with the players under his watch.
“He still coached us,” center Trystan Colon-Castillo said this week. “But outside of football he was pretty mad at us. We got the silent treatment.”
As the Tigers practiced and held meetings the next week for their game against Memphis, Davis kept the chatter to a minimum with his linemen.
He’d just watched his line give up four sacks to the Crimson Tide. The Tigers produced only 2.3 yards per carry from their top two running backs.
