Missouri's Pisarkiewicz Wins Fresh Start as QB

Steve Pisarkiewicz, MU's "Mr Excitement," arrived with a burst of energy four years ago and became a problem for coaches with kickoff excitement. The 6'2" 205-pound quarterback threw 113 of 232 passes for 1,792 yards last season, a Big Eight high, and set a school record with 371 yards on 20 completions against Oklahoma State. If healthy this year, he could become Missouri's all-time leading passer, surpassing Paul Christman.

Missouri Freshman Leo Lewis II Shines as Tigers Face USC

Missouri enters 1976 with Leo Lewis III moving from quarterback to wide receiver and punt returner. The 155 pound speedster teams with Lamont Downer at split end as Pisarkiewicz guides a strong offense led by All-America candidate Morris Towns. The Tigers schedule includes Southern Cal and Ohio State, promising a stern test. Lewis embraces the new role, aiming to improve blocking and route sense while pursuing a leadership impact next to a deep running game and a hardened line. He reflects on pro prospects yet remains focused on the 11 remaining games and leading the offense.
