Focus is on the Future
Gary Pinkel is about to embark on his 10th season as Missouri’s football coach, and with 18 starters back from last year’s 8-5 team, the Tigers should field one of the more experienced lineups in the Big 12. Still, there will be plenty of questions to resolve when spring practices begin Tuesday.
