COLUMBIA, MO. • No school puffs its chest and pats itself on the back on homecoming quite like Mizzou, the school that insists it invented the collegiate tradition. On a glorious fall afternoon Saturday, the Tigers embraced their beloved holiday in more ways than one.
After three shaky performances against Georgia, South Carolina and Alabama, the Tigers (4-3) came home for their first game on Faurot Field in four weeks and rediscovered their potent attack. With former quarterback Phil Bradley and tight end Kellen Winslow in the stadium as part of MU’s celebration of the 1978 team, Drew Lock and tight end Albert Okwuegbunam fittingly revived their connection.
