Missouri suspends Maty Mauk for remainder of season
Missouri has suspended Maty Mauk for the rest of the season.
The quarterback had recently been reinstated to the team last weekend. Missouri sent out a release Sunday announcing that Mauk had been suspended for the remainder of the season. The violation was not disclosed.
The suspension means that freshman Drew Lock will presumably be Missouri's starting quarterback for the remainder of the season. Lock has been starting for Mauk since Mauk was originally suspended before Missouri's win against South Carolina October 3. The game was also the last time Missouri won.
Missouri's offense has been downright abysmal in 2015. The Tigers' defense is No. 3 in the country in scoring defense. The offense is No. 126 in scoring offense. The only team behind Missouri is UCF. The Knights are winless.
Maybe Missouri and Texas Tech should merge. The Red Raiders are No. 4 in scoring offense and No. 122 in scoring defense.
Lock is 77-152 passing for 763 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions. Mauk finishes the season 57-110 for 654 yards passing with six touchdowns and four interceptions. Mauk is still Mizzou's third-leading rusher.
The Tigers were off on Saturday and play Mississippi State on Thursday.
