T.J. Moe, who was a Tigers wide receiver, called for quarterback Drew Lock to be pulled:
Gotta pull Drew Lock here. Offense is doing nothing. Awful pick and an awful fumble. Have a seat, regroup for next week.

Hated seeing the stands empty in my early days at Mizzou. We worked so hard to get them full. I hate seeing them empty again.

Clean house and make a splash hire, i.e. our basketball team. I hope it doesn't have to be that way. Love Barry Odom and want him to succeed https://t.co/XqBEd6voJM
