Offensive line coach Brandon Jones said earlier this year that Cayden Green could play left tackle “maybe in some emergency situations” — a remark that looks rather indicting this week.

The Tigers will rotate through four, or even upwards of six, defensive tackles this season.

Teams with 10 wins in each of the two prior seasons have been left out of the top 25 just 5.4% of the time over the last decade, including Missouri.

Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz promised a "different" look for his offensive line and certainly delivered that, with three changes to the first-team group apparent Monday.

If the quarterback dilemma is going to be settled before the season begins against Central Arkansas on Aug. 28, time is running out.
