There’s no such thing as the college football offseason… not even during the college football offseason.
While it seemed like just yesterday, the Missouri Tigers were hoisting the trophy at mid field of the Citrus Bowl, the team’s players, coaches and staff are quickly getting back to work in preparation of their two-time SEC East title defense.
