Dave Riggert talked with Missouri Western quarterback Anthony Vespo Wednesday as they discuss not having spring football this season, expectations for Griffon football in 2020 and much more. Click the link above to listen to the conversation.
Missouri Western would normally be in the middle of spring practice right now but the COVID-19 pandemic has put a halt to all spring ball around the country.
Vespo, a sophomore-to-be from Bolingbrook, Illinois, is the favorite to take over at quarterback next season for the Griffons as he did play in six games a year ago behind starter Wyatt Steigerwald. Vespo completed 65.4 percent of his passes for 411 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions.
He even made one start in place of Steigerwald, who was injured and missed week 11 against Lincoln. Vespo was nearly flawless against the Blue Tigers as he finished 18-of-21 for 240 yards and three touchdowns, and MWSU rolled to a 71-8 victory over Lincoln.
Vespo and the Griffons have high expectations going into the 2020 season after going 9-3 a year ago and winning their second consecutive bowl game. Missouri Western will kick off the 2020 season on the road as they open at Central Oklahoma on Thursday, September 3rd.
