Missouri to play QBs Beau Pribula, Sam Horn in opener

August 20 - The starting quarterback competition for Missouri will carry on into the regular season.

Tigers coach Eliah Drinkwitz said Wednesday that both Beau Pribula and Sam Horn will play in the season opener against Central Arkansas on Aug. 28.
Drinkwitz said he would like to appoint a starter once he reviews game tape of the Central Arkansas contest.
"I informed the team this afternoon that both quarterbacks will play in the first game," Drinkwitz told reporters. "I want to see them in a game-day situation to make a final determination."

Pribula is a graduate transfer from Penn State who was initially viewed as the favorite. He threw nine touchdown passes and rushed for 10 more over the past two seasons. But his path to a starting role was blocked by star Drew Allar, so he left the team late last season and entered the transfer portal.
Horn, a redshirt junior, missed all of last season due to Tommy John surgery. He was also a right-hander on the Missouri baseball team and was drafted in the 17th round by the Los Angeles Dodgers despite the injury.

Horn signed with the Dodgers and also decided to continue on with his college football career. He has thrown eight career passes for the Tigers.

Beau Pribula finished the game 23 of 28 for 283 yards and 2 TD's plus rushed for 65 yards on 10 carries plus 2 more touchdowns. Sam Horn basically didn't play so the Mizzou starter is a forgone conclusion.

Here's a clip of one of his touchdown runs. Got some wheels on him.

Awesome run. Looking forward to watching him this season.

Sam Horn was injured in the game so Pribula pretty much played the whole way through.

Yeah, Horn started the game and was hurt on the first series from what I gather. Not sure how serious the injury is, they haven't said.

Something that really encourages me is how many White QBs have significantly upped their game when it comes to running in both college and the NFL (and presumably also at the high school level). They see how the system wants black runners at the position and so they've concentrated from a young age on increasing their speed and mobility. Someone like Will Howard for example, at his size he more than likely would have been more of a "Kent Graham type" a generation ago, a statue in the pocket, yet he can really motor and knows how to run when he does. Combine that with Whitey generally having an obvious edge in the passing department and it may explain why the black QB push has been stalling out of late.
