COLUMBIA, Mo. -- Freshman Drew Lock will make his second career start Saturday when Missouri (4-1, 1-1 SEC) hosts No. 11 Florida (5-0, 3-0).
Starting QB Maty Mauk was suspended indefinitely last Sept. 29 for violation of team policies, along with backup offensive lineman Malik Cuellar, who was reinstated Monday. Coach Gary Pinkel said the timetable for Mauk's return is unknown.
Lock made his debut start in a 24-10 victory against South Carolina last Saturday, becoming the first freshman to start at quarterback for the Tigers since Corby Jones in 1995. He completed 21 of 28 passes for 136 yards and two touchdowns.
