Sean Culkin in red, no official word on his injury.

I don't see Trevon Walters today, and will update once we get final word on his status going forward with the knee injury.

-- Raymond Wingo got some looks returning punts during the first special team section of the scrimmage.

FIRST SERIES

-- Russell Hansbrough carries the ball twice for ten yards and a first down as Missouri's one-offense goes from its own two-yard line.

-- For the two-offense against the one-defense, Printz gets a little pressure in the endzone and throws a direct interception to Charles Harris, who takes about three steps for a touchdown.

SECOND SERIES

-- Missouri's one-offense stalls just after it crosses midfield, after a short pass to Eric Laurent doesn't pick up a first down. Drive was highlighted by a 16-yard run by Hansbrough.

Nate Crawford was at right tackle for that drive.

-- First-team offense goes again from its 25, and two runs by Hansbrough picks up five. A short pass to J'Mon Moore on third-and-five gets four, and ends that series.

-- Again, the first-team offense stays on the field, and Mauk connects with Moore again on a hitch route out wide for a gain of six yards. Short pass to Reese on second down only gets one yard and now the second team offense will start its second series.

-- Second-team offense goes three-and-out. Incomplete pass by Printz, followed by a 6-yard gain on a short swing pass to Richard, but then Brantley comes through the middle of the line and pressures Printz into an incompletion on third down.

Rhodes was the second-team right tackle on that drive. Kevin Pendleton is the right guard, and Cuellar is the left tackle.

-- Second-team stays on the field and goes three and out again. Marcus Loud ends it with a sack.

-- Second-team again on the field, Drummond gains about four on a draw to start. Incomplete pass on second down with tight coverage by Ian Simon. Third-down completion, Printz to Echard, gains five -- not enough for a first down.

-- Second-team restarts at its 25. Brantley gets big pressure again up the middle, Printz completes a pass for no gain to Drummond. That ends the second-team's series.

-- Third-team offense gets its first series, with Zanders as the quarterback. After two runs by Andrew Stevens for a first down, Zanders runs play-action, throws short to Blanton and gains ten. Followed by an overthrow, and then a four-yard pass to Blanton sets up a third-and-6 at midfield.

Zanders throws one deep to walk-on Marcell Kellum for a gain of 36, and then he completes a short pass for 3 to the 12-yard line. Berkstresser comes in, and Blanton drops a short pass after a hit. Third-down pass by Berkstresser is incomplete.

THIRD SERIES

-- McGovern moves to left tackle, Chappell moves to left guard and Mitch Hall is at right guard. Three-yard run by Ish Witter, then a drop by Leftwich as Mauk scrambles around. On third-down, Mauk forces one to Reese in tight coverage and Thomas Wilson picks it off.

-- Not a good start for the first-team offense on the reset. Five-yard loss by Witter on a nice tackle by Donavin Newsom. Second-down, Mauk and Moore can't connect on a short pass, and then on third-down, Mauk scrambles and throws it away.

6-11, 25 yards, 1 INT for Mauk so far.

-- After another reset, Hansbrough takes the first play for a 65-yard touchdown. Right up the middle against the two-defense (with Augusta), and then outran everyone.

6-95 for Hansbrough so far.

-- Another reset for the offense. Mauk scrambles for eight to its 43-yard line. Incompletion on second down, and then Hansbrough gains six on third down.

-- Second-team offense comes in. Printz goes to Leftwhich for a gain of six, but Witter loses a yard on second down. Harris gets pressure off the edge on third down and Printz throws it away.

-- Reset for the second-team, Printz completes to Richard for a gain of about six. On second down, Printz has Dilosa, but he drops it as Sherrils comes in with a big hit -- but there's a penalty, so it doesn't count. Printz then overthrows (or has some miscommunication) with Blair deep, and Penton picks it off.

-- Reset again, Printz goes to Dilosa but Dennis has tight coverage and bats away the short pass. Hunt carries the ball on second down for a gain of three. On third down, Printz has Richard over the middle but he drops it.

Forgot to mention this earlier, but Crawford hand Rhodes have switched -- Rhodes has been with the ones on the last set, and Crawford is with the twos.

-- Reset, and Printz completes a pass to Richard but there's no blocking on the swing pass and he loses one. Hatley (I think) tips the second-down pass and Blair tries to dive for it, but can't catch it before it hits the ground.

-- Third-team offense now in, against the third-team defense. Zanders throws short to Brents and he gains about three yards. Bad snap on second down and they lose 16 after Zanders finally corrals it. Zanders escapes some pressure from Justin Grava, throws a short dump off to Drummond for a gain of eight.

-- Third-team offense resets, and Zanders throws his second incompletion. Second down, Andrew Stevens gains about five yards to the 40-yard line. On third down, Zanders drops the snap, picks it up, scrambles to the sideline and gets about 22 yards. Nice recovery.

-- Another reset and Berkstresser enters the game. Blakeley gets three yards on a short run on first down. Berkstresser then throws short to Blakeley for no gain on second down. On third, Berkstresser completes a pass for a first down to the 46. First and second down are both incompletions.

-- John Eierman comes in, and he's sacked and fumbled on first down.

FOURTH SERIES

-- First-team offense against first-team defense, and Printz is with the ones. First down is a short pass to Laurent for no gain. Hansbrough goes for no gain on second down. On third down, Printz rolls to his right and finds Leftwich for a gain of ten and a first down.

Ish Witter runs on the ensuing first down for a loss of three. On second down, Printz throws a pass to Leftwich, who drops it with Brothers in coverage. On third-and-13, Printz can't connect with Leftwich deep down the sideline.

-- Reset again, Printz stays in, and he throws a five-yard completion to Dilosa to the defense's 45. Play-action on second down, a bubble screen to Laurent for a gain of about seven and a first down.

-- Second team offense comes in, and Zanders is the quarterback. Rhodes with the twos here, Crawford was with the ones on the previous set. Hunt had a gain of about three. On second down, Shaun Rupert makes a nice interception on an underthrown pass to Richard.

- Reset, Zanders stays in. He rolls to his right out of pressure and throws on the run to a sliding Richard for a gain of 19. Hunt bounces the next carry outside to the left for a gain of one as he can't find room upfield. Incomplete pass on second down.

Sam Bailey working at center on this series, with Abeln on left guard.

Zanders scrambles on third down for a gain of 18. Zanders is a little all-over the place, but he's been the only QB consistently making plays.

First down from the 18, Zanders throws a slant to Dilosa for a gain of 5 yards to the 13. Zanders rolls right on second down and has Dilosa in the endzone but can't make a good throw on the run and it's incomplete.

Field goals coming up.

-- Corbin Berkstresser comes in, and Andrew Stevens is dropped for a loss of three by Ricky Hatley on first down. A completion to Blanton for one or two on second down, and then a long incompletion to Aaron Bailey on third down.

-- Another reset, Berkstresser rolls right and finds Bailey for a gain of about 13. On the ensuing first down, Stevens goes off right tackle for a gain of 14 to the defense's 22 yard line. On the next play, Berkstresser rolls to his right, lofts one to Brents and it's almost intercepted by David Johnson in the endzone.

A run on the next play loses a yard with Justin Grava on the stop.

-- After some field goals, the third-team offense goes against the third-team defense with Eierman in. Short completion to the sideline for no gain. On second down, there's a chop block penalty on the offense. Eierman is chased out of bounds on second down for a loss of about six, and then throws an incompletion after scrambling on third down.

-- Reset for the offense, and Blakely carries it for about four yards.

FIFTH SERIES

-- Ones against ones, and Mauk is back in. First down from the 30, a drop by Jason Reese. On second down, Mauk has Moore in the endzone, but it's underthrown and Penton makes a nice move to cut it off and intercept it.

That's Mauk's second pick of the day and his seventh straight incompletion.

-- Mauk ends that streak with a short pass to Laurent for three. Harris gets a sack on second down to set up a third-and-15. Short pass attempt to Witter, who drops it, gets hit hard by Green and then shoved by Brantley. It wouldn't have been a first down, anyway.

-- Reset from the 30. Mauk to Reese for a gain of five. Hunt gains one on second down. Moore false-starts on third down, setting up a third-and-9.

-- Mauk tries to scramble up the middle and falls. He's very gimpy, looks like it's his right ankle or knee.

-- Printz comes in, after an incompletion and a short run by Drummond, Printz scrambles for nine and a first down. Mauk being looked at by trainers on the field. Still standing up, now he walks off the field. Doesn't look quite as gimpy.

-- I missed some plays there while following Mauk, but Missouri's first-team offense ends its drive witha one-yard run by Printz to the 15 to set up field goals.

-- Twos first twos now, Printz stays in. Clarence Green sacks him on first down, coming in untouched off the edge. On second down, Printz completes a short pass to Echard, and now the third-team offense comes in with Zanders at the helm.

-- Stevens, from the 30, gains two on first down. Another run on second down for no gain, setting up a 3rd-and-8. Zanders scrambles on third down, but not enough for a first down.

-- A reset after some field goals, Zanders till in. Stevens run to the right for a loss of one. False start, and then a backwards pass to Brents loses two more. Third down, Zanders rolls around and throws an incompletion in pressure.

-- Eierman comes in, throws a completion and Raymond Wingo puts a big hit on the receiver, but it's a gain of about five. Blakely runs for no gain on second down. On third down, Eierman throws one into coverage, it's batted into the air and Trei Walton makes a tip-toe catch for the pick.

SIXTH SERIES (1:30 DRILL)

-- First-team offense in with Mauk at quarterback, and he's sacked by Hatley on first down for a loss of 13. Mauk finds Witter for a 13-yard gain on the next play, and Clarence Green lays a big hit on him. Third-down pass is low and incomplete to Moore. On fourth-and-10, Mauk finds Moore for a gain of 19. Nice catch by Moore, not sure how he got a foot down on the sideline.

-- First and ten from the 48, Cheadle comes in off a corner blitz and sacks Mauk for a loss of seven. Mauk steps up in the pocket no second down and throws to Hunt for a gain of five to midfield. With time expiring, Mauk completes a ten-yard pass to Leftwich, and that ends the series.

-- Third-team offense in, and Zanders completes a pass for seven to Stevens on first down. Second down pass is incomplete, and third-down, the pass is batted down by Grant Jones.

On fourth down, Blakely runs it for a short gain but it's enough for a first down. Zanders scrambles for another first down, gain of 11 across midfield. Zanders moves around in the pocket on first down, but throws low for an incompletion. Short pass to Stevens on second down, and Stevens makes a nice move for a gain of seven. Fourth-down pass is incomplete.

-- Drive over, second-team offense comes in with Printz. He tries to go long to Dilosa on first down, but Dennis stonewalls Dilosa and it's well overthrown. Loud sacks Printz on second down, and the third-down pass is well behind Blair. On the next play, Printz throws one deep and Ian Simon picks it off.

That's the end of the scrimmage. Coverage coming shortly.
