Losing an experienced starter ahead of a conference game is usually bad news.
But the feeling around Missouri seems different this week as junior quarterback Maty Mauk will miss the Tigers' home matchup this Saturday against South Carolina.
According to Dave Matter of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Missouri announced on Tuesday that it has suspended Mauk and backup left tackle Malik Cuellar for the South Carolina game "for disciplinary reasons related to a violation of team policies."
Mauk & Cuellar suspended for violation of undisclosed team policy. Status going forward "will be evaluated after the game," per MU statement

The Missouri quarterback's suspension comes during a time of great frustration for the entire Tigers offense.
