Austin Simmons and Chip Lindsey tasked with improving Missouri's passing game

Missouri football approaches the 2026 season with Austin Simmons as the new quarterback and Chip Lindsey as the offensive coordinator. Both aim to revitalize a passing offense that recorded the lowest average in the SEC last season, at 188 yards per game. The team dealt with quarterback injuries and inconsistencies in 2025, which contributed to their struggles. Lindsey's past offenses have shown a willingness to pursue deep throws, a strategy Simmons will need to adapt to in order to enhance the team's aerial attack moving forward.
