Watching the 2020 game v. Arkansas on youtube. Got me to thinking about the extent to which Drink has upgraded the talent and depth between then and now.
Here are the starters in the game I'm watching, best I can tell:
QB: Bazelak
RB: Rountree / Badie
TE: Parker / Hea
X: Chism
Z: Dove
Slot: Knox
LT: Powell
LG: Griffin (I think he was playing bc someone got hurt?)
C: Maetti
RG: Cook
RT: Borom
DE: Turner
DT: Byers
DT: Utsey
DE: Hansford
Mike: Nicholson
Will: Bolton
Nickel: Manuel
BS: Bledsoe
FS: Gillespie
CB: Ware
CB: ? (couldn't figure this one out)
The question is: how many of these guys could start / play on the 2024 Mizzou team? I have my opinions, but I'll just throw it out there.
