On Saturday evening, Missouri held its annual open practice and gave fans one last live glimpse of the team before the season opener on Sept. 1st. The practice brought in a good turnout, showcasing that Mizzou fans are hungry for Tiger football.
Going into the practice, I had no idea what to expect. At first, I saw referees and instantly thought that a scrimmage would be in the near future, but I was very wrong in that assessment. Instead, Eli Drinkwitz chose to keep risks to a minimum, with the practice essentially being a walkthrough. This means that just the offense would be on the field, running plays at 70% percent (or something close to that), then once the drive was done, the defense would step on the field and simulate play against coaches.
