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.
An August competition didn't result in a starter being identified and Drinkwitz is just fine with that.
'I don't feel the pressure like, 'Oh, I've got to make a decision. We got to move on and solidify it,'' Drinkwitz said. 'Like, that's not the case with this football team. So this team's growing there.'
