Missouri receiver Luther Burden enters this season primed to be a star in the SEC, even earning some high praise from Nick Saban. Burden had a breakout year as a sophomore to finish with 86 catches for 1,212 yards and nine touchdowns as the Tigers finished the year 11-2. Those numbers make him the conference’s leading returning receiver as Missouri is expected to continue its success this season. The former Alabama coach provided his assessment of Burden during SEC media days. “He’s a complete player at the wide receiver position,” Saban said. “The guy’s got great hands and is a good route run...

The Manning Passing Academy presents quarterbacks across the country with unique opportunities. For a few days over the summer in Louisiana, they all get to interact with one another. Not too often does the top crop of college players hang out in a similar setting. Friendships and relationships can be built down there. Missouri‘s Brady Cook and Texas‘ Arch Manning may be the latest example, with the two apparently being roommates. “I was able to room with Arch down at the Manning Passing Academy,” Cook said Tuesday at SEC Media Days. “So we had some great conversations, and I just love how he’...

At Big 12 Media Days last week, Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy generated some buzz when he discussed Ollie Gordon’s recent arrest for DUI. The coach recalled his response to it and how he has “done that 1,000 times” – comments he later clarified. But when Paul Finebaum discussed an experience on a plane to Los Angeles for the Rose Bowl, Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz saw an opportunity to make a joke. And he took it. Finebaum recalled where he was when Missouri defeated Ohio State 14-3 in that game. He was sitting behind some Michigan fans who, for obvious reasons, were enjoying the T...

Most coaches spend their time at their media days talking about their team’s upcoming seasons. However, Missouri’s Eli Drinkwitz used some of his time at the podium to take more than a few stances, including one involving the late Mike Leach. Drinkwitz campaigned for Leach to be including into the College Football Hall of Fame during his press conference at SEC Media Days on Tuesday. With the event heading to Atlanta next year and other nominees under consideration, he called on decision makers to do the right thing in inducting him. “It reminded me to call on CEO Steve Hatchell to do the righ...

College football analyst Phil Steele predicted the Preseason AP Poll Top 10 teams to open the 2024 season, giving an inside look at the fall. Steele is 95.3% accurate over the last 15 years, per his release. If it’s that accurate, this should be a great look at the upcoming poll. You can see Steele’s projected AP Preseason Top 10 rankings below. 1. GeorgiaArguably the consensus No. 1 team in the country this year. The Bulldogs were nearly competing for a third straight national title, but a little team named Alabama beat them in the SEC Championship. Carson Beck returns at QB as the Heisman fa...

Missouri is eyeing a big 2024 season, with hopes for contention in the SEC and a College Football Playoff berth in the 12-team era. And starting quarterback Brady Cook is bullish on one key position group. That group would be the Missouri defensive ends, who Cook raved about at the Manning Passing Academy earlier this summer. A specific trio has stood out to cook, including two new faces via the transfer portal. “I want to talk about our three [defensive] ends,” Cook said. “Johnny Walker Jr., he’s been on Mizzou, he came in with me. He’s a leader on that side, won the MVP in the Cotton Bowl on...

A popular sleeper pick in the SEC this season is Missouri. Not just because of the schedule the Tigers will face, appearing to be on the lighter side on paper but also the job Eli Drinkwitz has done with the program. Missouri has a talented roster, building through both recruiting and the NCAA transfer portal. After winning 11 games in 2023, expectations have never been higher for Mizzou. Quarterback Brady Cook embraces having those expectations, saying it’s something they have worked for. Cook is hopeful he can deliver in a big way this season — in what will be his final year of college footb...

Heading into the 2024 season, Missouri is a trendy pick as a possible College Football Playoff team, in part due to a relatively manageable schedule despite being in one of college football’s toughest conferences. Coach Eli Drinkwitz, though, has still had his team feasting on perceived negativity as motivation this offseason. The team has embraced “something to prove” as a mantra, letting that inspire players throughout the offseason as they work toward the 2024 campaign. “Something else that’s really important to us is little by little a little becomes a lot,” Drinkwitz said on The Jim Rome ...

Missouri bolstered its offensive line via the NCAA transfer portal this offseason in an attempt for the Tigers’ offense, led by quarterback Brady Cook, to improve on their strong season from one year ago. Cook, who led Missouri to an 11-2 record in 2023, spoke on behalf of his new blockers, praising their skills and how quick they’ve managed to adapt to the Tigers’ style of offense. “I saw the chemistry really grow, especially with Cayden Green,” Cook said. “He came in January from Oklahoma and immediately he stepped. He’s buddies with Armand Membou, who is our right tackle. So you know, you l...

Missouri reached new heights in 2023 under Eli Drinkwitz. The SEC program enjoyed an 11-win season — the program’s first since 2014 — which included a 14-3 Cotton Bowl victory over the then No. 7 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes. The success was invaluable for Missouri, who’s been searching for that level of play since hiring Eli Drinkwitz in 2020. However, Drinkwitz doesn’t want his guys hanging on to last year’s successes for too long. While the 11-2 finish breeds hope of a consecutive 10-plus-win season, the Tigers headman revealed his unique mindset by quoting one of the most unique college foot...
