COLUMBIA, Mo. — Questions about the future direction of Missouri’s offense won’t be fully answered in the Gasparilla Bowl, so consider Friday’s game against Wake Forest a bridge to the future — or more like a path to the past.
With assistant coach Bush Hamdan’s decision to leave Mizzou’s staff for Boise State, Tigers coach Eli Drinkwitz has put himself back in charge of the team’s quarterbacks and will resume his role as the team’s offensive play-caller. Drinkwitz served as his own quarterbacks coach his first two years at Mizzou before handing those duties to Hamdan last offseason.
