Exactly. Start Lock now and let our young QB and young receivers grow up together. All they're doing right now is getting used to bad QB play.

Yeah. I think they also thought/hoped that this approach would be the kick in the ass Mauk needed to change the ways that limit him.

Obviously, it hasn't.

Too bad Lock decided he wanted to play his senior year of basketball. Had he enrolled in the spring, I think he would have been the starter from Day 1.

The OL played OK against Kentucky. Add a QB who is a true threat to make throws in all areas of the field, and I think the running game picks up (with more space as teams have to defend the pass more honestly).

Mauk is much like the QB taking snaps for the Chiefs... in that he limits the effectiveness of the units around him, and defenses can be very aggressive at the LOS vs. the run, because they don't fear the QB throwing the ball.

I like Andy Hill. He's obviously a very good recruiter (or that is my understanding), and he's had some pretty good QBs.

But There are some things that all the QBs do that he's had that are terrible habits.
- QBs take snaps and stand flat-footed. I understand part of this is the spread and shotgun snaps. But I "feel" like Mizzou is worse than anyone at it.
- QBs will NOT step into a pocket, and often are flushed from the pocket very early. Gabbert was the worst at this. Mauk is pretty bad. And what makes it worse is that they often flush the wrong direction. it's infuriating.
- QBs on the move lock onto 1 receiver. This is a little nit-picky, but it seems that on the run the MU QBs are not trying to find a guy, but often are just watching to see if one guy makes a move.

Mauk and James Franklin and Lock are the only QBs he has coached.

David Yost was the QB coach for everyone through 2012.

The flat-footed thing is something Daniel brought in to the offense and is supposed to be used only when you pre-snap read the throw and know exactly where you're going. It's supposed to help get the ball out more quickly.

And what's worse is that, since this year is a wash if you leave MM in there, that's a "wash" season where DL and both sophomore WRs aren't getting game-time reps together.

If Gary could swallow his pride and do this, next year and the year after could be very awesome for MIZZOU. To bad he won't swallow his pride...

I friggin knew that. Somehow I had erased Yost from my mind.


My bad.

Is Yost still coaching WRs at Wazzu?

Looks like about half the team is out with injuries this week. Doesn't count as an excuse, but it does stink.

Regarding the game, I only got to see 15-20 minutes due to being at soccer games all day. Mauk didn't look particularly good, but the drops didn't help. The line didn't run block incredibly well, but they did well enough for a good back to pick up yards. Unfortunately, I don't know that we have a healthy one of those currently on the team.

On a related note, I got to see a few plays from the Alabama game on Saturday and their line wasn't giving Henry anything at all. henry, however, still churned out huge gains. A good back makes all the difference.

At this point, I think you have to play the young guys and see what you have. Lock needs more plays, as long as he's earning them in practice.

Mauk suspended.

The Drew Lock era officially begins. If he plays well, we won't see Mauk again.

Insider info never fails.

Oh shit

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) -- Missouri quarterback Maty Mauk and backup tackle Malik Cuellar have been suspended indefinitely by the school for violating team rules and will not participate in the Tigers' (3-1, 0-1 SEC) home game against South Carolina (2-2, 0-2) Saturday.

Associate athletic director Chad Moller released a statement Tuesday night confirming the suspensions, citing ''disciplinary reasons related to violation of team policies.''

The status of the suspensions will be assessed after Saturday's game, and the athletic department has issued no additional comments.

Mauk spent Monday in Springfield with his family, and did not attend team media day. His father and high school coach, Mike Mauk, underwent a procedure Monday to treat colorectal cancer.

Freshman Drew Lock likely will make his first collegiate start in place of Mauk, who has 654 passing yards as well as six touchdowns and four interceptions this season. Lock has completed 15 of 25 passes for 225 yards as well as a touchdown and an interception.
