Missouri's going through its first scrimmage of the fall on Faurot Field on Saturday.
Gary Pinkel said the 1s and 2s will go through about 45-50 reps and the depth chart WILL CHANGE. Emphasis mine.
We'll have play-by-play and analysis throughout. Until then, check out what we'll be watching in each position group.
First, an injury update. These guys are dressed in red and will not participate.
PK Andrew Baggett (back)
OL Andy Bauer (hip)
WR Richaud Floyd (ribs)
WR Thomas Richard (hamstring)
S Ian Simon (hamstring)
The only one of those that's surprising is Baggett. The word from on high is back spasms. And running back Morgan Steward appears to be full-go today. He didn't scrimmage last year before his hip injury.
Some special teams reflections for you.
Punt return depth: Aarion Penton, Thomas Wilson, Johnathon Johnson, Cam Hilton
Kick return depth: Anthony Sherrils, John Gibson, Finis Stribling, Emanuel Hall
Backup quarterback Corbin Berkstresser was also working on the put and kick return protect teams.
Now, some scrimmage updates:
Tyler Hunt made a 31-yard run in which he found space coming out of the end zone against the 1 defense.
Clarence Green was active early, pressuring Maty Mauk into an early throw on a blitz -- a good one on the run that DeSean Blair dropped -- then hitting Nate Brown for a 4-yard loss on a screen.
But Brown got his revenge the next play, taking a curl from Mauk, breaking a Green tackle and going 27 yards.
Drew Lock completed his first two passes for 15 yards to Johnathon Johnson and 13 on the run to Emanuel Hall. He also scrambled for a 4-yard gain and looked pretty good against the 3 or 4 defense.
Justin Smith moves really well. Especially for a 6-7 dude. He caught a quick screen from Marvin Zanders, made a quick step inside and accelerated past the 3 defense for a 60-yard touchdown. I'm sure the fan base will take this as calmly as it can...
Eddie Printz comes up with something out of nothing. Charles Harris got a huge burst off the line and shoved Malik Cuellar back into his path, but Printz maintained his presence and went up top to J'Mon Moore for 65 yards to the 5-yard line, leading to a field goal for the 2 offense against the 1 defense. Printz has looked good so far.
