MU Tigers face uncertainty at quarterback amid strong defense
At Columbia Missouri coach Al Onofrio contends the Tigers have four quarterbacks and a shifting plan. John Venturi leads, with Ed Johndrow ill, while veterans Mike Farmer and Chuck Roper are sidelined by injuries and caution. The defense features ten senior linemen and aims to offset an unsettled offense led by slotback Mike Fink and tailback Jack Bastable. The squad plans a basic offense with limited plays across multiple formations. The Sept. 11 Stanford opener looms as the first real test of the QB mix.
