Missouri Releases Official Week 1 Depth Chart For Louisiana Tech Bulldogs

In this story:
The Missouri Tigers open the 2022 season against the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs on Saturday, hoping to take a step forward in Year 3 under Eliah Drinkwitz.
On the field, the Tigers will look much different in the home opener, with multiple new faces on both sides of the ball, including at quarterback.
And over the weekend, Missouri released their first depth chart of the 2022 season, putting an end to many questions surrounding many position battles, while others still remain in doubt.
However, Drinkwitz is comfortable with his 22 starters and feels each of them has earned their opportunity.
“They’ve got to earn it," Drinkwitz said over the weekend. "At the end of the day, I’ve got to lay my head on the pillow at night, knowing however it turned out, I’m comfortable with it. And I wouldn’t be comfortable if I just gave somebody something that they hadn’t earned.”
