Stat Breakdown: Okwuegbunam, Knox break the 100-yard barrier

Only three times this season had a Missouri player caught for over 100 yards in a single game heading into the Week 8 matchup with Memphis.

Emanuel Hall did it twice in the first two games of the season — both times for 171 yards again UT-Martin and Wyoming — while Jalen Knox had 110 receiving yards against Purdue. It hasn’t been since Knox’s big game in Week 3 that a player has come within even 19 yards of the triple-digit threshold.

On Saturday, and for the first time all year, Missouri actually had two players complete the feat.
