With a combined 91 points in its first two games, Missouri ranks fourth in the Southeastern Conference in scoring. Quarterback Drew Lock has played like an NFL prospect, and receiver Emanuel Hall has given his defenders fits.
But one facet of the Tigers’ attack has yet to flourish: the run game. Their offensive linemen put that on themselves.
“It’s a struggle at this point,” senior tackle Paul Adams said. “Call it as it is.”
Missouri rushers enter the weekend averaging 3.9 yards per carry, which ranks 87th out of 130 FBS programs, and the Tigers have yet to face a Power 5 defense.
