Offense gets first win of spring

Columbia, MO- Tiger spring ball is in full effect, and the first win for the offense came on March 24th with a 10-7 victory over the defense. Former Tigers Blaine Gabbert and Kevin Rutland were in attendance when Grant Ressel kicked the game-winning 45-yard field goal. The quarterback spot is still in hot contention, as Blaine's younger brother, Tyler "T-Gab" Gabbert, James Franklin and Ashton Glaser are all competing for the starting job. The 24th's practice went like this for the three contenders:
A. Glaser:
J. Franklin
- 13-20
- 89 yes
- 3 carries for 18 yds
T. Gabbert
Brad Madison and newcomer at linebacker Denzel Martin both had the interceptions, and Madison returned his 43 yards for a score.
It was a win-lose situation for Ressel, who normally wears the same color jersey as the defense, as he kicked the game-winning field goal for the offense, but had to partake in the losing side's "up-down" drill. I guess you could call that a "game-losing" field goal.
