Missouri’s search for a No. 2 quarterback continues as the fall semester begins next week, and the men competing for the job don’t know what will win their coaches’ approval. They said Derek Dooley, MU’s new offensive coordinator, has not told them any specific traits they must display. And according to Lindsey Scott, one of the Tigers’ reserve quarterbacks, coaches are using “some type of algorithm” when it comes to dividing reps.
Scott, who seemed to be joking, said he wasn’t sure of the exact formula, but the latest computation has been more favorable toward one man: 6-foot-3 sophomore Micah Wilson, the only person on Mizzou’s roster other than Drew Lock to throw a pass in a Division I football game.
