Mizzou football: Rountree a reason to have high hopes

Larry Rountree III has the most rushing yards through two seasons than any running back in Mizzou football history.

Rountree has rushed for 1,919 rushing yards through his first two years, 272 more yards than Tony Galbreath’s 1,647 in 1974-75 (Galbreath was a junior-senior, so Rountree tops the list even more for freshman-sophomore years).

His 1,216 rushing yards in 2018 were fourth in the SEC, but that’s not all.
