Missouri still has one more football game to play this season, a New Year’s Eve matinee against Oklahoma State in the Liberty Bowl, but Kelly Bryant’s commitment to the Tigers on Tuesday has talk about the 2019 season buzzing.
The program will open its new south endzone complex at Memorial Stadium and will return a strong senior core led by linebacker Cale Garrett and tailback Damarea Crockett. While Missouri will lose the likes of Drew Lock and Emanuel Hall on offense, here’s an early look at the Tigers’ offense for next season:
Quarterback
Starter: Kelly Bryant
Likely backup: Connor Bazelak
Analysis: Bryant is the program’s first true dual-threat quarterback since Brad Smith in 2005 and brings a ton of experience to his position as Lock’s heir.
