The non-conference slate of games sometimes serves the purpose of reaffirming what we already knew. On a hot Saturday afternoon at Faurot Field, Ahmad Hardy continued to prove one thing: he loves to run the ball against the Ragin' Cajuns.
Last season, Hardy accumulated 172 yards on the ground on 28 attempts against Louisiana. Hardy continued the trend with 250 rushing yards at Faurot Field and three touchdowns. The 250-yard total puts him seventh all-time for rushing yards by a Mizzou running back in a single game.
"[Ahmad] is a tough runner and he has a refusal to get tackled," Mizzou head coach Eli Drinkwitz said.
