Pinkel Comments on Mauk's Suspension

Monday, Oct. 5

Head coach Gary Pinkel refused to give a timetable for the quarterback's return, only saying Mauk will reappear on the depth chart once he's back, per Tod Palmer of the Kansas City Star.

Pinkel discussed the situation on Sept. 30, per ESPN's Greg Ostendorf:

"

Maty's going through some personal things, and that's difficult in regards to that. But what we do, and I think our players have great respect for it, is I protect the integrity of the program. We're going to be who we are, and we're going to do the right thing. We're not going to manipulate things. We have rules we abide by. Everybody lives by the same rules. And I think overall, that's helped us build our football program.

Lock Replaces Mauk

In Mauk's absence, Drew Lock completed 21 of 28 passes for 136 yards and two touchdowns during the Tigers' 24-10 victory against South Carolina. 

"It's a little overwhelming to say the least," Lock said of his first start on Oct. 3, per ESPN.com. "Now that I've started and actually won a game, you can't really put it into words."

A freshman and former 4-star recruit, per 247Sports, Lock has completed 77 of 152 passes for 763 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions since arriving in Columbia. The quarterback has also seen action in all eight of Missouri's games this season.

Prior to his suspension, Mauk struggled, passing for 654 yards and six touchdowns while completing just 51.8 percent of his attempts. He also rushed 36 times for 145 yards and a score.
