Mizzou Football: Mizzou’s backfield may be one of the strongest in the SEC

Ryan Herrera, Football Beat Writer: I see Crockett starting every game, but Rountree won’t have to wait too long to get onto the field. These two both have the ability to start for this team, but if it weren’t for Crockett’s midseason injury in 2017, Rountree may not have had the opportunities he had to prove himself that he did. He took full advantage though, and he showed the ability to be the No. 1 RB for this squad. I’m looking for these guys to split a lot of carries for most of this season and provide a big boost to another explosive offense, but I also think Crockett ultimately proves he’s the clear-cut No.
