With the 2024 season officially over, it’s time to break down the performance of the team position by position. We’ll look at the stats for the year, the departing players, new additions, and some predictions for what we’ll see in 2025.
The last postmortem entry of the 2024 season assesses a position group that returns its most known player and...that’s about it.
Look...any special teams unit is going to be noticeably less fun and/or good without Harrison Mevis on it.
And while Our dearly departed Thiccer Kicker was able to draw attention away from - and overcome - a lot of special teams warts, the fact remains that Mizzou’s special teams have been a series of diminishing returns over the years:
- 2020: 25th in SP+
- 2021: 11th in SP+
- 2022: 38th in SP+
- 2023: 45th in SP+
- 2024: 98th in SP+
What’s been the cause of the regression?
