Missouri will not have a top tackler in the first half vs. Kentucky

Two weeks ago Missouri lost its top tackler, Cale Garrett, for the season. Now they will be without one of their best defensive backs for the first half of the game against Kentucky.

Tyree Gillespie will be sidelined after committing a nasty targeting penalty in the second half against Vanderbilt. He was ejected after drilling Mo Hasan in the head as the Vanderbilt quarterback gave himself up to slide. Hasan was forced to exit the game with a concussion. Hasan could return from concussion protocol after this week’s bye.

This is a blatant and vicious targeting penalty by Mizzou’s Tyree Gillespie.
