Mizzou defense braced for sudden impact with Alabama passing attack

Last year a record-smashing passing game dominated the Southeastern Conference West Division, powered by a fleet of elite wide receivers and an unassuming quarterback who’d capture the country’s attention and all the national hardware by season’s end.

Dare we say history will repeat itself this fall?

There’s the unheralded quarterback stepping into the spotlight. There’s the dominant offensive line. There’s the multidimensional running back. And there’s the collection of wide receivers that will torch holes through your secondary.
