Missouri coach Al Onofrio says the Tigers will lean on defense for an improved finish in the Big Eight. Quarterback questions linger with Mike Farmer and Chuck Roper returning from spring surgery. If unavailable, Ed Johndrow and John Venturi contend for the job as Missouri rebuilds the offense around returning skill players and a reshaped backfield. The Sept. 11 opener against Stanford is uncertain with a slim chance of a strong start.
