The Missouri Tigers head coach shared his dissatisfaction with a specific area of the Missouri passing game in his weekly press conference.
passing offense had a strong debut for the 2024 season, but it certainly wasn't perfect. In the 51-0 win over Murray State, quarterback Brady Cook threw for 228 yards and a touchdown, completing 31 of his 20 attempts. However, he was innacurate on each of his four failed attempts on throws over 20 yards.
Missouri attempted a pass on seven third-down plays throughout the game. Only three were enough to move the chains. This led to the Tigers punting on two drives and having to settle for field goals on two others, leaving plenty of potential points on the board. “It starts with fundamentals, route depth, timing, the quarterback setting his feet when he makes throws, mot drifting after he throws the ball to get ready to go do a celebration," Drinkwitz said. "Finish the throw, have your feet set in the pocket. Wide receivers gotta run their routes at the correct depth. They have to explode out and the quarterbacks have to make the throws."
